Regarding the judiciary, the purification and lustration initiatives had been alleged as a beginning of a new stage of radical reformation, appreciated by European institutions. Therefore, in this article we will provide a detailed picture of the lustration of judges in Ukraine from the angle of its procedural guarantees as well as its legal nature; a special focus will be given to issues of efficiency of lustration restrictions, provided by the national legislation as well as its compliance within the European guidelines and Ukrainian Constitution. Lustration of judges will be analyzed regarding ordinary sanctions, enforced upon judges in case of committing disciplinary offences.
International commercial arbitration (ICA) is an alternative way to resolve foreign economic disputes. Initially, arbitration itself was seen as a neutral court in which the parties to the dispute were independent of national courts. Arbitration agreements and decisions must be recognised by national courts without any complications or review procedures. Although granting commercial parties some independence to agree that their dispute will be considered by independent arbitrators is a key principle in ICA, the struggle for supremacy between national laws and national courts on the one hand and the autonomy of the parties and the independence of the international arbitration system on the other continue. Over the years, national laws have sought to control, regulate, interfere with, or support ICA in various ways. To counter attempts to ‘localise’ ICA and promote equality in this area, private, professional institutions and international and intergovernmental organisations have developed a significant body of law designed to ensure self-government and dispute settlement procedures in ICA. Nevertheless, international commercial arbitration cannot exist independently of national jurisdictions. Examining the activities of ICA, it can be seen that the importance and impact of national arbitration laws and national judicial supervision are significantly reduced, but the lex fori still plays an important role in arbitration. Thus, the reform of the normative regulation of international arbitration also affected Ukraine. The article analyses the radical changes proposed by the legislator regarding the procedure for establishing institutional arbitrations, expanding the arbitrability of disputes.
The effectiveness of arbitration, as well as its attractiveness for disputing parties, depends more on the existing and developed legislative framework of the convention (ratification of numerous multilateral international legal instruments) and national arbitration legislation. It is the combination of these sources that guarantees the procedural autonomy of the arbitration, while significantly reducing the interference of national courts, In addition to the existence of mandatory and optional rules for the provision of such assistance in arbitration. Unfortunately, such a legal framework for the consideration of foreign economic disputes by international commercial arbitration may be too complex and even sometimes unclear and problematic. However, this ambiguity in the interpretation and understanding of the law of international commercial arbitration can be addressed by paying sufficient attention to the definitional apparatus, the assessment of the development and improvement of international and national regulationslegal acts that gradually depart from archaic approaches to the definition of regulatory law through more effective analysis. Thus, in this article special attention is paid to theoretical and applied problematic issues of determination of «seat of arbitration». Due to clear inconsistencies and uncertainty in the national legislation and enforcement activities of many countries regarding the place of arbitration, this leads to numerous «procedural traps» in considering applications for recognition and enforcement of the award of international commercial arbitration. The author pays special attention to the analysis of the legislative regulation of the place of arbitration in Ukraine. And, from the perspective of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and the Supreme Court, conclusions are drawn regarding the corresponding contradictions in the definitional apparatus.
The paper explores the issues on the enforcement of judgments and its effectiveness, as well as the access to justice in civil cases. Based on the materials analyzed, the nature of the execution of civil decisions and enforcement proceedings in general is clarified. The abuse of law in the execution of court decisions is investigated. Based on the above analysis, the following types are distinguished: abuse by the claimant of the right to choose the place of enforcement proceedings commencing, the registration by the debtor at his place of residence (which is the sole property of the debtor that can be recovered) of a minor child, the cancellation of the results of electronic bidding through formal technical mistakes of the electronic auction organizer, abuse of the debtor's right to privacy, the initiation of parallel litigation by the debtor on the results of electronic bid- ding while the new owner sues the court to remove obstacles to the use of the premises and evictions, contemptuous attitude of enforcement pro- ceedings participants to the executor while the complaint against the executor's actions is under the court's consideration. The availability of justice in civil cases and the effectiveness of the mechanism for the protection of rights, freedoms and interests are directly linked to the observance of the requirement for irrevocable implementation of court decisions at the level of national law and the existence of effective enforcement mechanisms. The question of the nature of enforcement proceedings and their place in the legal system remains debatable in the civil procedural literature. As a rule, consideration of abuse of procedural rights is conducted in two directions, which do not exclude each other – from the point of view of the evaluation of abuse as a negative procedural phenomenon oranalysis of certain forms of abuse of procedural rights. There are also studies that deny the legitimacy of the design abuse of procedural rights.
