On the Necessity of Compiling of Motivated Judicial Acts in the Appellate and Cassation Instance

E.S. SMAGINA,

Candidate of Legal Sciences,

Head of the Department of Civil Procedure and Labor Law

of the Southern Federal University

The Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of 03.10.2017

No. 30 proposes to make amendments to the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian

Federation, the Code of Arbitration Procedure of the Russian Federation and the Code of

Administrative Procedure of the Russian Federation concerning of compiling of motivated

judicial acts in the appellate and cassation instance. The article analyzes problems

associated with such changes. Rejection of compiling of motivated judicial acts in the

appellate instance contradicts the essence of the appeal as a retrial; formalizes its work due

to the frequent use of the authority to leave the judicial act unchanged and the rejection to

hold court hearings of the appellate court for cases considered in the simplified procedure.

Unmotivated judicial acts of the cassation instance make the system of unmotivated judicial

acts complete, all-instant. Changes also contradict the goals of creating separate appellate

and cassation courts of general jurisdiction.

Keywords: appeal; cassation; unmotivated judicial acts; judicial system; judicial decision.
