Adaptive Case Management in the International Practice of Civil Proceedings

Abstract

The main problems of civil proceedings that need effective tools to address them in Ukraine are: (1) deadlines for civil cases, (2) ineffective regulation of various procedural stages and court proceedings, (3) insufficiently developed institutions and tools for judges to expedite consideration of a case in a separate case or effectively consider repeated cases. The purpose of the study is to develop scientifically sound proposals and recommendations for the implementation of the principles of Adaptive Case Management in civil litigation. The ACM (Adaptive Case Management) system has proposed as the newest tools that can ensure the adaptation of the civil justice system to the new operating conditions. The main element in the ACM approach is a case, which can include a large number of elements -people, events, documents, processes, discussions and more. Adaptability means that each case can be unique and adapted to the current situation. Using of digital tools in civil proceedings ensure the optimal ratio of activity of the parties and the court in the conduct of proceedings in civil cases, speed up processes, increase efficiency. Adaptive Case Management in civil litigation will ensure the optimal balance of activity between the parties and the court in litigation in civil cases. This innovation will improve the organization of proceedings in civil proceedings, which will increase the efficiency of justice and the effectiveness of civil proceedings and will be the basis for a conceptual rethinking of the role and function of judges and parties in the proceedings.
