Characteristic of the instant of appeal in the system of courts of general jurisdiction

Ensuring the implementation of the right to judicial protection is the right to appeal to a higher court of judicial acts, court rulings that were adopted by the court of first instance and have not yet entered into legal force. At present, judicial reform is underway in Russia. An important provision of the judicial reform is the revival of the role of the legal institution for the appeal of judicial acts in civil proceedings. The presence in Russia of an appeal in civil proceedings is essential, since, in turn, this institution can be an additional guarantee of the fairness of judicial decisions, and is designed to ensure the protection of the rights and interests of individuals, which meets the principles of law of a developed democratic state in which human rights and freedoms are the highest value. In the course of its historical development, appeal has become the main form of verification of judicial decisions that have not entered into legal force.
