Revisiting of the procedure codes was one of the important
components of the Judicial Sector Reform Strategy
2015-2020 implementation; the Strategy is primarily
aimed at practical implementation of the rule of law principle and
ensuring that judiciary meets public demand for justice, as well as
is compliant with European values and standards of human rights
protection.
It was commonly accepted that the Economic Procedure Code of
Ukraine required revisting in the first place. Despite the fact
that the procedural issues of litigation in economic courts were
clear and detailed, the vast majority of such details was provided
by regulations of the plenums of the Supreme Court of Ukraine and
the Supreme Economic Court of Ukraine rather than the Code
itself.
