Abstract

The article aimed to analyze case management in civil justice in Ukraine. Ukraine is one of the members of the Council of Europe and declares its integration path towards the European Union. The Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine was signed in 2014 and requires the approximation of national legislation, which led to reforms, covering various areas of legal regulation. In the research, the comparative method was used to analyze the legislative provisions of case management, together with the structural method and the historical method to reveal the background of the idea of case management in the past research of Roman Law. The authors concluded that the deep historical beginnings of case management are based on Roman law, and the idea of restoring this phenomenon is fully reasonable today. Finally, the implementation of case management in procedural legislation must be reassessed and adapted to the complex of the rights protection system, helping to transform the role of the court in the dynamics of the civil judicial process.
