Aims of the Civil Procedure in Russia and France: Common Features and Differences

In this article the author conducts a comparative study of the target attitudes of the civil procedure in Russia and France. We determine the hierarchy of target attitudes of the Russian civil law process. The article substantiates that strengthening the rule of law and law and order, prevention of offenses, the formation of a respectful attitude towards the law and the court are additional goals of civil proceedings, cannot be achieved separately from its main goal — the protection of violated rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of persons whose dispute is subject to consideration in court. We note the commonality of the main goal of the Russian civil and arbitration processes, as well as administrative proceedings. We reveal the implicitly fixed goals and objectives of civil proceedings in France. We make the conclusion about the similarity of the goals of the French justice in civil cases, hidden in the national law, and the goals of the Russian civil procedure directly enshrined in the law.
