Problems and Prospects of Legal Regulation of the Status of Persons Contributing to the Administration of Justice in Civil Proceedings

Based on a comparative analysis of the norms of the procedural legislation of the Russian Federation, the paper discusses certain problems and prospects of legal regulation of the status of persons contributing to the administration of justice: expert, specialist, witness, interpreter, assistant judge, court clerk, as applied to civil proceedings.

The authors analyze modern approaches to the persons contributing to the administration of justice, considering, along with traditional subjects, such a procedural figure as judicial representative in a civil procedure, taking into account the latest changes and additions to the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, entering into force on September 1, 2019.

Based on a comparative analysis of the provisions of the arbitration and civil procedural laws, the authors of the paper point that the Civil Procedural Code of the Russian Federation lacks a separate chapter on legal regulation of the status of participants in civil proceedings, including those assisting in the administration of justice. This makes it difficult to establish the circle of such entities in practice. In this regard, they propose, by analogy with the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, to fix the circle of participants in the civil procedure in a separate chapter, revealing in detail and specifying the legal status in other articles of the Civil Procedural Code of the Russian Federation of other participants in the civil proceedings.

In the paper, the authors conclude that the judicial representative must be considered as an independent subject of the civil proceedings. Finally, this problematic issue can only be resolved by making appropriate changes and additions to the Civil Procedural Code of the Russian Federation.

It is noted that, despite the absence of special instructions in the Civil Procedural Code of the Russian Federation to other participants in the process, their list is not exhaustive and in fact, the circle of persons involved in the case is much wider. Such persons include court bailiffs and witnesses, whose legal status is currently debatable.
