On novelties regarding judicial control over the execution of court decisions
October 26, 2023. In Odesa, a cross-sector event was held, focusing on the crucial institution of reporting on the enforcement of court decisions. The event, organized by NGO MEC "Pro Justice" in collaboration with the South-Western Commercial Court of Appeal with the support of the EU "Pravo-Justice" project, brought together representatives from three jurisdictions: judges, lawyers, parties to the proceedings, and enforcement officers.
Participants had the opportunity to discuss key aspects of this mechanism. During the event, the results of a study conducted within the framework of the "LAP and JC" grant project were presented. By surveying 460 respondents, researchers identified the reasons for non-compliance with decisions, the level of awareness among participants, and the real effectiveness of judicial oversight.
The tone for the discussion was set by Iryna Kohut, head of the "Enforcement of Court Decisions and Protection of Property Rights" component of the EU "Pravo-Justice" project, who emphasized the importance of empirical data for evaluating this mechanism. The research findings were presented by the authors, Roman Chumak and Olena Fonova.
