Problems of Legal Regulation and Practice of Application of Court Fines in Civil Proceedings

The institution of a court fine is a measure of legal responsibility (official enforcement) for procedural violations, expressed in the form of a monetary sanction. The court fine is not uncommon to all types of legal proceedings, and its history goes back more than 100 years. However, it is in the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation that the institution of a court fine has a special legal regulation, which differs significantly from similar regulation of the said relations in other procedural codes, which has also led to significant differences in the practical implementation of the said measure of enforcement. This includes a special procedure for protecting the rights of a person who has been fined, and the specifics of judicial practice on issues of bringing to liability in the form of a fine for disrespect for the court, and the ambiguity of the legislator’s approach to regulating the issue of the procedure for executing court decisions on the imposition of a fine on officials. The paper analyzes the legal regulation of the institution of judicial fines and the practice of its application in civil proceedings, identifies problems and suggests ways to solve them.
