REVIEW AND ANALYSIS OF THE NEWS OF THE CIVIL PROCEDURE CODE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

This article examines the issues of modernization and reform of the judicial system of the Republic of
Kazakhstan. In the rapidly changing conditions caused by the pandemic, the author focuses on an overview
of significant changes in civil procedural legislation. Particular attention was paid to the fact that the courts
were able, on their own initiative, to collect and examine evidence, to appoint the necessary expertise. The
article discusses the features of the proceedings of civil cases using technical means of communication, if it
is impossible to personally attend the proceedings, including for experts, specialists and witnesses. In order
to ensure equal access of citizens to justice, a number of amendments have been made concerning the
refusal of unnecessary procedural actions by the court, as well as the reduction of procedural timeframes.
Among other things, the article examines the legal consequences of refusal to re-collect evidence for
conciliation procedures for the possible use of these materials in court proceedings. In addition, the norms
related to the challenge of a judge were analyzed. The role of the judge in the process was assessed, taking
into account the adopted amendments and additions, and conclusions were drawn on the validity of the
adopted amendments.
