The Elements of the Subject of Proof in Cases of Recognition of an Individual as Missing

The paper examines the composition of the elements of proof in one of the categories of cases of special proceedings, namely, in court cases of recognition of citizens as missing. The relevance of legal norms on missing people is determined by the increase in the number of armed conflicts, natural and technological catastrophes. The need to study this issue is explained by the fact that erroneous court decisions lead to legal uncertainty, affect civil turnover in a negative way, infringe property and other rights of citizens. The number of missing people is alarming, and search for them is not always effective. At the same time, as shown in the paper, there is an unsolved problem of forming a legally compliant composition of the subject of proof in cases of recognition of citizens as missing. In the conditions of modern mega-catastrophes, legislative filling of this gap through consolidating the general subject of proof in the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation and detailing of the local subject of proof will serve timely and correct consideration of such cases.
