The Use of Modern Information Technology in Judicial Review of Complaints in Pre-Trial Proceedings

Abstract

This article is devoted to the topical issue of the institution of judicial control — ensuring the right to access to justice in the context of digitalization of public relations. According to the analysis of the statistical data of the Judicial Department of the Russian Federation, on the lion’s share of complaints (about 70%) accepted for proceedings, decisions are made to terminate proceedings on various grounds, and only a third of the complaints are decided to satisfy or refuse to satisfy the complaint. The author has analyzed the main reasons for the termination of the proceedings on the complaint, taking into account the existing current judicial practice. The practical significance of the work lies in the availability of proposals for resolving existing problems that are practically oriented towards the judicial system, taking into account the use of modern information technology of the state automated system «Justice» and video conferencing systems. In order to improve judicial control in pre-trial proceedings, the author’s vision of making changes at the legislative level was formulated by amending Part 2 of Art. 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.
