The procedure for establishing facts of legal significance
The process of providing legal services to establish facts of legal importance through the court usually involves the following steps:
1. Case preparation. This stage includes the collection of necessary documentation and information that confirms the facts that need to be established through the court. It can be testimony, contracts, acts or other evidence that has legal significance.
2. Appeal to court. After preparing the case, the legal representative or the client himself submits an application to the court to establish certain facts. The application must contain sufficient evidence and arguments so that the court can make a well-founded decision and meet the requirements of the procedural code.
3. Consideration of the case by the court.The court considers the submitted application and the evidence presented by the parties. The court may schedule a hearing to hear testimony and arguments from the parties.
4. Making a decision. After studying the evidence and arguments, the court makes a decision on establishing or not establishing certain facts. The court's decision is final and enforceable. It is possible to appeal only decisions in cases of establishing the fact of birth or death of a person in the territory where a state of war or emergency has been imposed, or in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. However, appealing the decision does not stop its execution.
