The article deals with some issues relating to the new Ukrainian Code of Civil Procedure entering into force. The Author divides modern problems of the civil branch of the Ukrainian judiciary into theoretical and practical ones, laying particular stress on the drawbacks. The Author is not only a theoretician but she participates in the operations of various courts of different level. Her practical observations lead to interesting and original conclusions. The Author does not make use of works of other authors who discuss the legal system of Ukraine. In particular, she does not make a reference to the works by V. Komarov, S. Hülshorster or F.H. Gaul (the conference in Kiel, 15-20 Oct 2000), published by M. Bogusławski and A. Trunk in a volume entitled: Reform des Zivil- und Wirtschaftsprozessrechts in den Mitgliedstaaten der GUS (Bielefeld 2004). She does not draw upon the traditional theory of judicial proceedings by O. Bülow, denied in the Kiel conference, now advocated by an eminent Byelorussian professor M. G. Jurkiewicz, which provides basis for Polish Code of Civil Procedure of 1932. In line with Ksawery Fierlich’s view, it must be noted that Prof. M. G. Jurkiewicz and L. Koliadko succeeded in bringing the new Byelorussian Code of Civil Procedure closer to the French one, by defining the principles of the Byelorussian proceedings in line with the concept of H. Motulski and the Polish idea of the Code, which is discussed by G. Borkowski.
