APPLICATION OF THE PRESUMPTION OF GOOD FAITH IN CIVIL PROCEDURAL LAW, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND NOTARIES
The universality of one of the fundamental presumptions – good faith – should be explored in various fields of law. The relevance of this study is as follows: at the ideological and philosophical level – overcoming the separation of branches of law and creating an understanding of law as a whole, at the practical level – improving the legal system and clarifying the features of this presumption in regulating different groups of legal relations. Based on the presumption of good faith, any behavior is regarded as positive, so the very fact of harm is regarded (presumed) automatically as dishonest behavior. The presumption of good faith, which is enshrined as a basic principle of civil law, also manifests itself in other branches of law – civil procedural law, in criminal law and process, in notaries, which makes it possible to attribute it to the fundamental principles of law. In civil law, good faith is manifested in the freedom of contract, presumptions of the validity of the contract, the guilt of the tortfeasor, and so on. In civil proceedings, these are manifestations of the dispositive nature of civil proceedings and the prohibition of abuse of procedural rights. In criminal law and procedure, the principle of good faith is manifested through the presumption of innocence of a person. In a notary – by securing a high probability of rights and facts that are being certified. For civil procedural law, the specificity of the application of presumptions is associated with the restriction of the procedural form itself. Procedural actions of subjects of civil procedural legal relations are clearly regulated by law and must be carried out in accordance with it. In notarial activity, the principle of good faith is manifested in dispositiveness, the desire of individuals to exercise their civil rights in good faith and bear responsibilities, guaranteeing, consolidating their will by notarization, establishing maximum certainty, indisputability of specific legal relations.
Key words: civil process, legal proceedings, presumptions in law, good faith, principles of law, presumption of good faith, notaries.
