Civil litigation in Ukraine plays a key role in resolving civil disputes between individuals and protecting their rights and legitimate interests. It provides mechanisms for resolving a variety of civil matters, from contractual relations to property disputes and issues relating to the rights and obligations of individuals.
Stages of civil litigation:
Filing a claim or statement: Civil proceedings begin with the filing of a claim or application with a court of competent jurisdiction. In a lawsuit, a party expresses its claims and substantiates them, indicating the grounds and circumstances of the case.
Preparatory stage: After the lawsuit is filed, the case is submitted to the court, where the preparatory stage is carried out. At this stage, the parties have the opportunity to file responses, present evidence and documents, and agree on issues related to the trial.
Consideration of the case in court: On a certain day, the case is heard in court, where the parties present their evidence and arguments. The court carefully examines all the circumstances of the case and makes an informed decision.
Announcement of the court's decision: After the case is heard, the court announces its decision, which determines the resolution of the dispute and the reasons for the decision.
Appellate and cassation instances: In case of disagreement with the court's decision, the parties have the right to appeal to higher instances - the court of appeal and the court of cassation. At these stages, the decision may be reviewed if new evidence or procedural violations are found.
The enforcement process: Once a judgement is rendered, the parties have the right to enforce it.

A lawyer can provide legal assistance to his client in the enforcement process, helping to collect the necessary documents and protecting rights during the execution of a court decision.
