Abstract

The article discusses the amendments and additions made to Section IV, “Review of Judicial Acts” of the Civil Procedure Code, the essence and significance of these reforms in the theory and practice of civil procedural law, and their role in civil judicial activities. It also provides a comparative analysis of the relative positions of the instances of review of civil judicial acts and the procedures involved. Also, the reasons behind these new developments, the necessity for an instance to review judicial acts through scrutiny, and the author’s proposals and recommendations are discussed. The article shows the emergence, grounds, necessity, and characteristics of the current norms in Chapter 46 of the Civil Procedure Code on “Proceedings for the Review of Judicial Acts through Scrutiny” as a new institution. This institution (the review stage) helps address not only legislative experience but also practical procedural issues. To reveal the relevance of the topic, the author pays special attention to the views and opinions of procedural law scholars in various educational and scientific literature, the need for reviewing judicial acts in recent years, and the analysis of the powers and workloads of judges in judicial practice.
