Abstract:
In developing the objective of economic procedure law, the main focus should
be put on providing a scientific basis for maintaining and enhancing the specialization
of economic process as a counterbalance to the inadequate relations in the domain of
economic activities and the all-around unification of procedural law in Ukraine.
The article offers a doctrinal analysis of the objective of economic procedure law in the
context of economic law and from the perspective of attaining of its goals and implementing
of its basic provisions, also with due regard for the achievements of the economic law
theory. An emphasis is placed on close linkage between economic law and process, which
should be reflected in the specifics of implementation of economic court procedure.
Complications in the relations existing in the domain of economic activities and
their statutory regulation entail a complex nature of legal conflicts between participants
of relations in the domain of economic activities. Economic activity entities are in legal
relations with each other, and therefore a breach pertaining to one of them negatively
affects the others. Bearing this in mind, it is justified that in a market-oriented economy
and given the complications in the relations in the domain of economic activities,
the objective of economic procedure law should be not only to effectively protect the
violated, unrecognized or disputed rights and legitimate interests of separate individuals,
legal entities and the State, but also to ensure legal economic order as a component of
public economic order.
The concept of the objective of economic court procedure has the following main
elements: the economic-law approach used as a methodology of judicial cognition and
adjudication in a case referred to economic jurisdiction, which allows predicting the impact
of the judgment on the domain of economic activity; evolution of the proportionality
principle in economic court procedure (statutorily defined criteria of judicial guidance
of process in conjunction with optionality of parties); concentration of cases in economic
jurisdiction (concentration in economic jurisdiction of a range of all interrelated legal
conflicts, including those involving public authorities and local self-government bodies).
