Location: Congress Center at Yeltsin Center. Boris Yeltsin St., 3, Yekaterinburg
What are the limits on the exercise of procedural rights and how to define the borderline between procedural strategy, abuse of rights and counsel’s mistake during civil disputes adjudication? The principle of party disposition has many benefits, but it can become a space for violations of party’s in good faith rights. Disputing parties may have absolutely different understanding of main procedural questions. Use of experts or witnesses – can it be qualified as abuse of rights or key question of a particular case at hand? Whether late or incomplete evidence or arguments submission can be considered as delay in proceedings or a party’s mistake? How courts should react in this situation in order to fight against abuse of rights and to avoid its own mistakes?
