ABSTRACT

Introduction. Modern domestic criminal proceedings are faced with many unresolved problems of a theoretical and law enforcement nature. Among the fundamental ones is the problem of normative legal regulation of criminal procedural relations. A paradoxical situation has emerged in which, on the one hand, a claim is rightly made against the criminal procedure legislation about the overload of the criminal procedure form, its difficulty in implementation, and on the other hand, the volume of the regulatory legal field is increasing, which reinforces the already tense situation of maintaining legality in the criminal justice system. It is obvious that traditional approaches to the normative legal regulation of criminal procedural relations no longer allow for the progressive development of criminal proceedings. Accordingly, the search for new ways to optimise the regulation of these legal relations becomes particularly relevant. Individual judicial regulation for criminal proceedings is also a new category. Its use, as well as theoretical research, is mainly carried out in other areas of legal knowledge. Nevertheless, the essence of this category is associated with both the content and the form of judicial criminal procedure activities, which allows us to count on the potential for individual judicial regulation to have a positive impact on solving existing problems in the field of judicial activity. Methods. The research utilised core traditional scientific methodologies, such as the dialectical approach, analysis (including systemic analysis), synthesis, deduction, and modeling. Conclusions. 1. Individual judicial regulation is one of the aspects of the manifestation of the idea of individualisation in criminal proceedings. An essential characteristic of judicial criminal procedural activity is its targeted (individualised) nature. Judicial activity is individualised at the level of both the content of the results and the form of implementation. 2. Individual judicial regulation in criminal proceedings is an element of the court’s legal influence on the subjects of criminal procedural relations, effected through court decisions of a criminal procedural nature on substantive and procedural matters within the competence of the court that meet the requirements of the criminal procedural law. Any court decision (on substantive and procedural issues) must meet the requirement of individualisation. Forms of judicial activity are based on an individualised approach. We believe that the development of the theoretical foundations of individual judicial regulation will ensure the effective resolution of many law enforcement problems, including creating the necessary prerequisites for effective judicial criminal procedure activities in the absence or incompleteness of regulatory control, including procedural rules.
