ON OPPORTUNITIES FOR BROADENING OF NOTARIES’ POWERS IN TERMS OF ORGANIZATION OF VIDEO CONFERENCING WITH COMMERCIAL AND GENERAL JURISDICTION COURTS

Abstract

In this article, the author considers the possibility of expanding the powers of notaries in terms of granting them the right to assist the courts in organizing court sessions through videoconferencing systems. The author concludes that the legal basis for this has actually been created, and such a consolidation of additional rights of notaries will significantly simplify the procedure for the remote participation of individuals in the consideration of the case. The granting of this right to notaries is especially relevant in the light of the development of the coronavirus pandemic COVID-19, which imposes serious restrictions on the possibility of direct, full-time participation of persons in court hearings.
