PRIVATE DEFINITIONS IN CIVIL PROCEEDINGS AS A SPECIAL TYPE OF JUDICIAL ACTS (IN TERMS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF JUDICIAL COMMUNICATIONS)

Private determinations in civil proceedings are an important way to level out violations of law and order. The use of this procedural instrument, as a form of administration of justice, creates legal barriers to attempts to diminish the principle of legality in civil transactions. The purpose of this study is to identify the features of judicial activities of an interim nature, which are substantively formed in the course of accounting, direction, control of execution, storage of private rulings, their copies, and responses to private rulings. Based on the methods of structural analysis, elements of judicial records management are identified that form the basis for the development of external judicial, mainly documentary, communications in the course of the exchange of procedurally significant information in connection with the issuance of private rulings. By applying the method of statistical analysis in the course of calculating generalizing relative statistical values within the framework of the research objectives, statistical patterns in the activities of courts of general jurisdiction for 2021–2024 were established. Using a comparative approach, the relationship between judicial records management and judicial communications has been established. As a result of the study, it was concluded that ensuring legal proceedings in connection with private rulings made by judges is carried out in the course of organizing and maintaining judicial records. A path has been identified for modernizing traditionally «paper-based» judicial records management, which should be carried out through the transition to unified state platform solutions in the creation and exchange of judicial information, taking into account possible risks and solving cybersecurity problems.
