The right of access to justice is a basic constitutional guarantee. It means that everyone has a real opportunity to go to court and protect their rights.<\/p>\n
However, in practice, things are much more complicated. The mere fact that such a right exists does not mean that it is easy to exercise.<\/p>\n
To file a lawsuit, you need to fulfill a number of formal requirements: pay the court fee, properly execute the application, meet the deadlines, apply to the court with jurisdiction and with the claims that are consistent with current case law.<\/p>\n
And this is where the problems begin - even if a person acts in good faith and follows all the rules, he or she may face a situation where the court later recognizes that the case should have been considered in another jurisdiction altogether.<\/p>\n
We are talking about the so-called jurisdictional conflicts, when it is unclear which court should hear the dispute: civil, commercial or administrative.<\/p>\n
By law, if a case is filed in the wrong court, the court simply closes the proceedings. The same can happen on appeal or even in the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
Formally, the plaintiff still has the right to apply to the appropriate court even after his or her claim is dismissed, but there is a nuance: it may take years before that moment.<\/p>\n
Litigation is already a long process, requiring considerable money, time and attention.<\/p>\n
Now let's imagine a situation where a case has been pending for several years, goes through all the instances, and is eventually closed due to a jurisdictional error. Such cases are not uncommon.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the Supreme Court sometimes closes proceedings based on a legal position that emerged after the lawsuit was filed.<\/p>\n
That is, the person acted correctly at the time of going to court, but the rules of the game changed in the process. Stories like this undermine trust in the judicial system, as even good procedural behavior does not guarantee a positive outcome.<\/p>\n
The situation is further complicated by the war. The transfer of cases from the combat zone, changes in jurisdiction, and the overload of courts further delay the processes.<\/p>\n
It is equally important to determine how to protect the violated right (formulation of claims), as such an error is an independent ground for dismissing the claim.<\/p>\n
When considering a dispute, the court checks not only the existence of a violation or contestation of a right, but also the compliance of the plaintiff's chosen remedy with the content of the violation and the mechanisms for its restoration provided by law, taking into account current case law.<\/p>\n
If the claims are not aimed at effective restoration of the violated right or do not comply with the remedies established by law and court practice, the court has no legal grounds to satisfy them.<\/p>\n
In such circumstances, even a minor mistake can cost years.<\/p>\n
Therefore, we strongly recommend that you seek legal assistance from experienced attorneys if you need legal defense in order to mitigate the risks of going to the wrong court or choosing the wrong defense.<\/p>\n
This will help avoid unnecessary expenditure of resources associated with the dismissal of a claim or the closure of proceedings and the need to go to court again.<\/p>\n
