THE NOTION OF THE SYSTEM OF CIVIL PROCEDURAL LAW

The study puts forward the thesis that the basis for the allocation of structural subdivisions of
civil procedural law is mainly the subject of legal regulation. The complex internal structure
of the system of this branch of law is due primarily to the diversity of civil procedural
relations that constitute the subject of regulation of this branch of law. The work reveals
the essential features of the concept of “system of civil procedural law”, defines the grounds
for its structural subdivisions and their composition, gives the definition of this category.
In particular, the author has formulated the idea that the system of civil procedural law
is an internally coordinated set of civil procedural rules, institutions and other relatively
independent structural subdivisions of this branch of law, naturally interconnected into
a single whole due to the unity of civil procedural relations. Also in this study the point of
view is expressed that each level of the system, as well as the entire system of civil procedural
law as a whole, is characterized not only by typical features of its constituent elements, but
also by their typical, regular relationships that constitute its structure.

Keywords: system of civil procedural law; composition; connection; integrity; level of
structure.
