DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND CIVIL PROCEDURE: PROBLEMS OF INTERINFLUENCE

Introduction: the comprehensive impact of digital technologies on the modern civil process is obvious. Today, digital technologies have become a reality not only of judicial process, but also of enforcement proceedings, as well as notaries and arbitration. At the same time, the massive introduction of digital technologies has posed a number of conceptual issues: for example, the permissible limits of the impact of such technologies on the very essence of civil law enforcement. In spite of the fact that there are a number of rather fundamental studies in Russian and foreign science, this problem is not sufficiently covered in science and has not yet found a solution. Methods: the method of materialistic dialectics; the system method; the method of comparative law. Analysis: due to analysis of the achieved level of practical development and doctrinal understanding of digital technologies in the Russian and foreign civil process, an attempt is made to conduct a theoretical and practical study of the problem of interinfluence of digital technologies and the civil process. Results: a) the dominant approach to the understanding of digital technologies at the doctrinal and regulatory level is the «instrumental approach», in which such technologies are perceived primarily as new ways of conducting law enforcement activities, conceptually not changing the very foundations of such activities, b) as a way (form) of implementation of law enforcement activities, digital technologies can not affect the content of this activity; the massive or radical introduction of such technologies could influence not only certain institutions of civil procedural law, but also its principles, topology, the very essence of law enforcement in civil cases.
