The influence of the norms of material and procedural law on the determination of civil jurisdiction of the case

Abstract

The article analyzes such a type of judicial jurisdiction as civil. The consequences of a judge's erroneous determination of the type of jurisdiction are noted. It is proposed to distinguish between civil jurisdiction in statics and dynamics. It is argued that subject and subject jurisdictions constitute the statics of the institution of jurisdiction. Instance and territorial jurisdictions are a manifestation of dynamics. Based on the case law of the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court, criteria for delimitation of judicial jurisdictions are proposed. To establish the nature of the case, the judge at the stage of opening proceedings must preliminarily (conditionally) apply the rules of substantive and procedural law by modeling the legal structures of relations between the parties, their qualifications. Considering the subject, grounds and content of the claims, evidence confirming these circumstances, the judge must establish that between the plaintiff and the defendant during recourse to the court there is a civil relationship in which there is a dispute or that there is a possibility of infringement the plaintiff's property right, other property rights or if the life and health of the person applying to the court is in danger. The subject of protection in civil proceedings may also be the freedom of an individual or an interest that does not contradict the general principles of civil law, including the public or other person's interest. If the application is not subject to consideration in civil proceedings, the judge shall determine to which jurisdiction the case is assigned or that the case is not subject to judicial review. Keywords: judicial and civil jurisdiction, subject jurisdiction, delimitation of judicial jurisdictions, preliminary (conditional) application of civil law and procedural norms.
