The timeliness of the research is provided by the fact that the prejudice is a complex legal phenomenon, the definition for which is not included into any norm of the Russian law branches. A comparative research is made for the legal regulation of the prejudice institution of the RSFSR Criminal and Procedural Code (1960) and the Russian Federation Criminal and Procedural Code. The author makes it prominent that in accordance with the principles of proving in the civil and arbitration procedure, some of the circumstances are not discovered by the court but are taken as substantiated. The conclusion is made that if the court has not truly settled some of the circumstances in the civil case procedure, for example if they are not sufficiently proved, this conclusion cannot have a prejudicial meaning in the criminal procedure.
