D.G. Nokhrin,
The Article illustrates tendencies of «deformalisation» and simplification of court procedure and, in particular, how these tendencies reshape proceedings on private appeals in civil process. The author finds that differentiation of procedure (whether it is written or oral) on the grounds of typology of appealed decisions, cannot be considered as ill-founded and has certain basis. Author also appreciates an idea that possibility of such changes depends on the existing level of confidence in judicial system.
Keywords: appellate procedure; private appeal; confidence in court; principle of proportionality; procedural economy; adversary character of the proceedings; oral hearing.
