D.Kh. Valeev, N.N. Makolkin Procedural guarantees of organizations in enforcement proceedings: general theory and trends

The authors consider the general theory of procedural guarantees existing at the stage of enforcement proceedings. The authors emphasize the classification of procedural guarantees and note that each stage of enforcement proceedings may have its own specific guarantees. In this case the authors divide procedural guarantees on the basis of the volume of regulating action, target purpose, nature of tasks. The authors state that procedural guarantees in enforcement proceedings are only formulated and arise as a result of digitalization of society in general and this sphere of law enforcement in particular.

M.R. Zagidullin Legal responsibility as a procedural guarantee of the rights of participants of arbitrazh proceedings

The effectiveness of protection of the rights of participants of arbitrazh (commercial) proceedings depends entirely on the system of procedural guarantees. Legal responsibility within the concept of correlation with sanctions is close to the latter. At the same time, sanctions may include both measures of legal responsibility and measures of protection of the right. Accordingly, legal responsibility is not only ‘punishment’, but also ‘protection’. Protection of procedural rights, which are also elements of the procedural legal status of subjects of arbitrazh procedural legal relations, and legal responsibility acts as one of the procedural guarantees of the rights of participants in arbitrazh proceedings. In this connection the most actual and practically significant sanctions in arbitrazh proceedings are considered.

Keywords: legal responsibility in arbitrazh proceedings, sanction and legal responsibility, measures of legal responsibility in arbitrazh proceedings, measures of protection in arbitrazh proceedings, procedural guarantees of rights, civil procedural responsibility, court fine, recovery of compensation for loss of time, reclamation of evidence, legal fictions, falsification of evidence, private determination, bad faith procedural behavior, abuse of procedural right

A.A. Popov Ensuring procedural discipline of participants in arbitrazh proceedings in conditions of greater activity of the court during the consideration of the case

The development of the adversarial principle, which is taking place in judicial practice towards the manifestation of greater activity of the arbitrazh (commercial) court of the first instance when considering and resolving a dispute on the merits, does not contribute to ensuring the proper implementation of the assigned procedural duties by the persons participating in the case, and therefore it is relevant to raise the question of means and methods of ensuring their procedural discipline. Based on the results of the analysis of current legislation and law enforcement practice, the author comes to the conclusion that currently arbitrazh courts have at their disposal two legally provided procedural institutions that allow to stimulate the parties to the dispute in the implementation of their duties — this is the distribution of court costs and the issuance of a private determination, the potential of which is not in full, but in relation to the institute the private definition is not implemented at all. In this regard, the author offers a justification for the possibility of making a private determination in cases of non-fulfillment by the parties of their procedural duties, as well as the need for appropriate explanations from the highest judicial body of the country and conducting scientific research on the development of new means and ways to overcome the passive procedural behavior of persons participating in the case in the changing mechanism of building an adversarial process.
