Absolute Mess, or Is It Allowable to Put Copying of Full Text of the Objection as the Court Decision?

The article gives a look on the problem of Russian procedure of making decisions by courts, i.e. full copying of the position of one party in a court decision, often transferring all errors, typos, turns, and ignoring the position of the other party. The author looks on an example of dispute with tax body. According to the author, this is a gross violation of the fundamental provisions on fair trial, undermines the credibility of the court, as in fact there is violation of principles of legal proceedings as: the principle of immediacy, equality before the law, competition, equality of parties and others. The author analyses positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the European Court of Human Rights on this issue, where the right to judicial protection is interpreted not only as a right to appeal to a court, but also the right to be heard by a court. According to position of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, there is one of the unconditional grounds for repealing a judicial act in criminal proceedings: it is the reproduction of the indictment without taking into account the results of the conducted trial. According to the author, this approach should be realized in all other kinds of proceedings, too. Therefore, the author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to check judicial acts, which are a copy of only the legal position of one party, without taking into account the results of the trial. 

Keywords: court decision; party; copying; legal position; cancellation; checking of court decision; appeal; right to judicial protection.
