About terms of consideration of criminal and civil cases by courts of the Russian Federation
Having discussed results of generalization of practice of observance by courts of the Russian Federation of terms of consideration of criminal and civil cases, the Plenum states that annually considerable part of legal cases is considered with violation of fixed terms.
Basic reasons of violation of procedural terms of consideration of criminal and civil cases are the shortcomings and omissions of activity of the courts connected first of all with the unsatisfactory organization of legal procedure, decrease in performing discipline, insufficient control from chairmen of the relevant courts.
Not isolated cases when contrary to requirements of Art. 227 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation and Art. 154 of the CCP of the Russian Federation without any bases to that criminal and civil cases are appointed to hearing with notorious violation of the terms provided by the law, sometimes in several months after receipt in court including when defendants are in custody.
Cases when owing to superficial studying of the criminal case file at stage of preparation for judicial session, omissions by preparation of civil cases for trial, the untimely notice of participants of legal proceedings, the unreasoned organization of legal procedure and other reasons of subjective nature of hearing of cases it is repeatedly postponed meet. At the same time motives of adjournment often are not given in determinations (resolutions), date of new trial is not specified. Control of timely renewal of production on such cases quite often is absent.
In separate courts unreasonable refusals to interested persons in justice on civil cases are allowed.
All this causes unjustified additional material costs and reasonable complaints of participants of process.
