The phenomenon of implementation of procedural law norms (using the example of civil proceedings)

In the article, in order to reveal the legal nature of the phenomenon of the implementation of procedural law norms by courts, the content of law enforcement as a special form of exercising of the right is characterized, the specifics of judicial law enforcement are determined, and the forms of judicial implementation of procedural law norms existing in civil proceedings are distinguished. It is noted that scientific views on the phenomenon of judicial law enforcement are reduced mainly to the application by courts of substantive law norms, on the basis of which the case is decided; to specific subjects of law and legal relations. At the same time, the issue of the implementation of procedural law norms by courts has not been given much attention. Based on the analysis of the content of the provisions of the Civil Procedural Code of Ukraine, it is emphasized that the implementation of procedural law norms by the court is not limited to their application (although the application of procedural law norms by the court also takes place when resolving specific procedural issues, on which court rulings are carried out that generate procedural consequences for the participants in the case, and also when the court makes decisions on the merits of the case). With reference to the provisions of clause 4, part 1, article 376, part 2 of article 263 of the Civil Procedural

Code of Ukraine, it is stated that the court must comply with the norms of procedural law. Therefore, it is concluded that in this case there is such a form of implementation of procedural law norms by the court as compliance, as indicated, for example, by the provisions of part 2 of article 7, part 10 of article 10, articles 36, 37 of the Civil

Procedural Code of Ukraine, which establish certain prohibitions for the court. As an example of another form of implementation — the use of procedural law norms — the provisions of part 7 of article 14, part 3 of article 35 of the Civil Procedural Code of Ukraine are given. At the same time, it is emphasized that the use of procedural law norms by the court can hardly be recognized as an independent form of implementation, since in procedural relations the procedural rights of the court are at the same time its obligations. At the same time, the main form of implementation is recognized as execution, since the provisions of the Civil Procedural Code of Ukraine contain many procedural norms that oblige the court to specific behavior in civil procedural legal relations. The conducted study of the phenomenon of the implementation of procedural law norms by courts, using the example of civil proceedings, allowed us to conclude that the implementation of procedural law norms is carried out by the court not only in the form of application of law, but also in other forms of implementation of law (usage, observance, execution). At the same time, in case when the court applies the norms of procedural law (as a special form of implementation of law by issuing court judgments) procedural consequences arise directly for the participants in the case, affecting their procedural rights and obligations, then when the court implements the norms of procedural law in other forms of implementation of law (usage, observance, execution), there are changes in civil procedural relations, which follows from the content of the civil procedural form, but there is no direct impact on the procedural rights and obligations of the participants in the case. Given the provisions of article 2 of the Civil Procedural Code of Ukraine, the tasks of civil proceedings (which are fair, impartial and timely consideration and resolution of civil cases), the implementation by the court of the norms of procedural law is an independent type of law enforcement, which is not necessarily related to the application of the norms of substantive law, which is the ultimate goal of justice.

Key words: implementation of law, forms of implementation, law enforcement, norms of procedural law, court, judicial law enforcement, civil proceedings, Civil Procedural Code of Ukraine.
