CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY IN CIVIL PROCEDURE

M.R. ZAGIDULLIN,

Despite the ongoing reforms, today a very large number of procedural violations committed by
participants in the proceedings continues to be observed during the consideration of judicial
disputes, largely due to the inefficiency or insufficiency of the legal liability measures currently
in force. There is also a high degree of inconsistency in law enforcement practice regarding the
application of procedural liability measures for unfair procedural behavior, late or incomplete
presentation of evidence, and delay in the trial. The author also presents the most acute
problems of legal regulation of legal liability and outlines specific proposals to overcome
them. The article presents the thesis that it is characteristic and necessary for the adversarial
model that legal liability is closely interrelated with the model of the adversarial model of
civil proceedings, differing in the degree of development and substantive characteristics of
measures against unfair procedural behavior, proportionality (proportionality) of the size of
punitive liability were proportional to the price of the claim, the active use of legal fictions /
presumptions. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop and scientifically substantiate a new
model of legal responsibility in the entire civil procedure. This model should be based on the
following conceptual foundations: uniform legal regulation of legal liability in the framework of
the entire civil procedure; strengthening of adversarial principles in the implementation of legal
responsibility, including by improving liability measures against unfair procedural behavior,
etc.; the introduction in non-judicial civil jurisdictions of rating systems for evaluating the
activities of bodies and persons engaged in procedural and procedural activities, and the
application of legal liability measures based on them.

Keywords: civil procedure; legal responsibility.
