Abstract

The article is devoted to the mechanism of increasing the authority of the court, one of the tools of which are called ensuring the availability of results of court activities - judicial decisions. The author's vision of the transformation of the existing concept of openness of the judiciary and the conditions for the realization of the right of every person to access judicial decisions are formulated, in particular, a number of proposals are indicated, aimed at optimizing the technical and organizational legal conditions for the functioning of the Unified State Register of Judicial Decisions.

The author analyzes the current normative provision of the procedure for publishing a court decision, clarifies the conflicts of legal regulation and problems of the practice of law enforcement. Two areas of relations are identified which arise in the process of providing access to court decisions. The first is external, which is to ensure everyone's right to access to a court decision. The second ones are internal, which establish the organizational framework for the formation and use of the Registry. Research in each direction allowed the author to formulate a series of proposals aimed at optimizing the mechanism for ensuring access to court decisions.

Since most court decisions are standard in certain categories of cases, they are of interest only to a particular territorial community living within the jurisdiction of the court, the question is whether the decentralization of the Unified State Register of Judicial Decisions is expedient by introducing the practice of publishing such decisions on the website of the courts that adopted them. The Registry should only send a decision in which in a new way interpretations of the legal norm that were relevant for the formation of a new jurisprudence, or decisions that have a significant social resonance and may be of interest to a larger audience than a territorial community within the jurisdiction of the court.

In addition, all decisions of the Supreme Court are necessarily included in the Register, since its decisions are of a provisional nature and influence the maintenance of uniformity of judicial practice, predictability of court decisions. A number of proposals for improving technical administration of the Unified State Register of Judicial Decisions
