INSTITUTE OF REVISION OF A CIVIL CASE ON AGAIN OPENED OR NEW CIRCUMSTANCES
According to
paragraph 2 of article 13 of the Constitution of RK judicial protection of his
rights and freedoms including on a possibility of revision of the judicial act
is guaranteed to everyone [1].
Code of Civil Procedure
of RK provides a possibility of revision of the judicial acts which have taken
legal effect not only in higher judicial instances, but also on newly discovered
facts.
The institute of
revision on newly discovered facts of the judicial acts which have taken legal
effect is an additional guarantee of fair justice and legality in civil legal
proceedings.
The new CCP RK
which are put into operation since January 1, 2016 has brought a number of
changes in the norms concerning revision of judicial acts. The judicial acts
which have taken legal effect can be revised not only on again opened, but also
on new circumstances [2].
Newly discovered
facts are understood as the circumstances, essential to business, existing at
the time of adoption of the judicial act. Treat them:
- the established sentence which have
taken legal effect, the resolution of court, resolutions of the public
authorities and officials who are carrying out functions of criminal
prosecution, obviously false testimonies of the witness, obviously false expert
opinion, obviously wrong translation, subfalsehood of documents or material
evidences which has caused the resolution of the illegal or unreasonable
decision;
- the established
sentence which have taken legal effect, the resolution of court, resolutions of
the public authorities and officials who are carrying out functions of criminal
prosecution, criminal offenses of the parties, other persons participating in
business, either their representatives or the criminal offenses of judges made
by consideration of this case;
- cancellation of
the decision, a sentence, definition or the resolution of court or the
resolution of other public authority which has formed the basis to
pronouncement of this decision, definition or the resolution.
This list of newly
discovered facts is exhaustive and is enshrined in item 2 of Art. 455 of CCP
RK.
The list of the
circumstances which are the basis for revision of the judicial act which has
taken legal effect is significantly expanded generally due to legislative
fixing of a concept of new circumstances, new to civil process.
New circumstances
in CCP RK are understood as the adoptions of the judicial act and affairs of a
circumstance having essential value for the correct permission which have
arisen later.
Treat those:
- cancellation of
the judicial act which had a collateral estoppel by consideration and
permission of business;
- the judgment
which has taken legal effect about recognition of the invalid transaction on
the basis of which the judicial act is taken out;
- recognition by
the Constitutional Council of RK unconstitutional
laws and others the NPA with which application the judicial act is taken out
[3].
It should be noted
that submission of the proof on circumstances which were known to the party,
but haven't been the basis for the declared requirements or objections against
them, doesn't testify to newly discovered facts. Only those circumstances which
existed at the time of consideration and permission by court of business are
subject to proof.
If the circumstances which are been the
basis for the claim were incomplete, and for the correct permission of business
there were circumstances unknown to the party which determine by other the
rights and obligations of the parties, then such circumstances are regarded as
opened again.
At the same time
cases when the party changes the explanations which are earlier offered in
court session on the substance of disputable legal relationship as owing to the
principle the party independently chooses means, ways and volume of legal
protection can't belong to newly discovered facts. Change of maintenance of
explanations can demonstrate both abuse of the right, and procedural omissions
of the party in the procedure of proof [4].
The conclusion of
the settlement agreement, the agreement on settlement of a dispute (conflict)
as mediation, the agreements on settlement of a dispute as the procedure provided by acts other ways of
voluntary settlement of a dispute (offset of mutual requirements, compensation
and others) can't confirm again arisen circumstances as the specified actions
are made at will of the parties of disputable legal relationship. Again
arisen circumstances don't belong to force majeur as are result of actions of
the third parties.
According to Art.
63 of CCP proofs on business are the data on the facts received in the lawful
way on the basis of which the court establishes existence or lack of the
circumstances proving requirements and objections of the parties, and also
other circumstances important for the correct consideration and permission of
business. If the evidence hasn't been produced by the party when considering
the case, then it is regarded as procedural omission of the party. After
pronouncement of the judicial act submission of the proof by the party in
justification of the made claim which at it was, regarded as submission of the new
proof, but not proofs in justification of the opened again or new circumstance.
Only that proof which the party is revealed
after removal in the matter of the judicial act can be the opened again or new
circumstance. The applicant is obliged to produce the evidence in justification
of existence of the opened again or new circumstances, but not new proofs in
justification of the declared requirement or objections against him on the
circumstances specified in justification of the claim and investigated by court
in court session. The applicant is also obliged to prove that newly discovered
facts existed when considering the case by court, but weren't and couldn't be
known to the applicant [5].
These
circumstances have to be confirmed with the corresponding proofs on the basis
of which assessment the court draws legal conclusions about the rights and
obligations of the parties and resolves a dispute.
Essential the
opened again or new circumstances which have legal value can admit, that is are
provided by a disposition of standard of the material law which is subject to
application for settlement of dispute and to establishment of the rights and
obligations of each party of disputable legal relationship. These circumstances
have legal value when influence legal conclusions of court about the volume of
the rights which are subject to protection and the interests and duties which
are subject to execution protected by the law.
Importance of the
opened again or new circumstance is expressed that their account attracts or
can entail need of use of other standard of the material law which has been
applied by court when considering the case.
The statement for
revision of the decision, definition or the resolution on again opened or new
circumstances moves the parties, other persons participating in business or the
prosecutor in the court which has passed the decision, definition or the
resolution within three months from the date of establishment of the
circumstances forming the basis for revision. Three-months term is the
procedural term, that is the term established by the law for commission of
procedural action in civil legal proceedings. The statement is signed by the
person submitting the application or his authorized representative. The person
submitting the application is obliged to send to other persons participating in
business, the copy of the application and the enclosed documents which at them
are absent.
The application
submitted with observance of requirements imposed to his form and content is
considered by removal of definition about its acceptance in production of the
relevant court.
If the court comes
to a conclusion about existence of the opened again or new circumstances having
essential value for business, then takes out definition about cancellation of
all taken place in the matter of judicial acts and fixes date and time for
consideration of a civil case in essence.
Definition about
cancellation of the judicial act on again opened or new circumstances isn't
subject to the appeal and protest. Arguments about disagreement with
definition can be included in appeal or cassation complaints.
If the application
for revision of the judicial act on newly discovered facts is submitted with
violation of the rules, CCP established by norms, after the expiration of an
established period and there is no petition for his restoration or restoration
of the passed term of the statement is refused if requirements imposed to
statement form and content aren't observed it is subject to return.
Also the statement
for revision of the judicial act on newly discovered facts is also subject to
return to the applicant in the following cases: it is withdrawn by the
applicant before his consideration; it is given by the person which doesn't
have powers on his giving or the incapacitated person; it is signed with the
face which doesn't have powers on his signing.
The statistics
shows that the considerable part of applications is returned in view of
discrepancy to requirements of the law.
