The Civil Procedure Code provides for the grounds according to which a judge can be challenged. There are other ways, using which you can complain about the representative of the judiciary.
According to the Civil Code, the main reasons that may serve as grounds for challenging a judge are family relations with any of the parties to the process, unreasonable delays in the consideration of the case, lost documents or evidence, etc. In connection with these circumstances, you can express your lack of confidence in the judge. The challenge is drawn up in writing, a sample of its writing must be provided to you in any judicial authority. When drawing up a challenge, clearly motivate your distrust of the judge. If your challenge is not accepted, write a complaint to the chairman of the judges. If the proceedings on the spot are unsuccessful, appeal to the district court. You can go to the website of the district court and send a complaint to the contacts indicated there. Think carefully about all the pros and cons that you will include in your complaint. It will be better if a qualified lawyer can help you in drafting it. If the violations in the work of a judge are flagrant, and the above measures do not have the proper effect, you can file a complaint with your higher authorities - the qualification collegium of judges. The highest office of this organization is located in Moscow and has its own website through which you can send a complaint. There are also qualification collegia of judges of various constituent entities of the Russian Federation. If the judge made an illegal decision, incorrectly applied or violated the norms of procedural law, file a cassation appeal with the court of cassation. You have six months from the date the court decision comes into effect. Such a complaint is drawn up according to certain rules specified in Chapter 41 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. Keep in mind that there are specialized regional resources on the Internet where the actions of a particular judge are discussed. Involving the public in the inappropriate behavior of a member of the judiciary can be very helpful. And although this is only an indirect impact, sooner or later it can lead to the launch of more serious mechanisms that control the work of judges. If you have the opportunity to invite a competent journalist to a lawsuit, you can exercise this right. As a rule, in the presence of the media, the judges will conduct the hearings more correctly, which is what you want. If in this case any problems arise, you will have a fresh newspaper article on the behavior of a judge, which you can safely send to the chairman of the district court as one of the proofs of your innocence. Do not be afraid to defend your right to a correct, fair and honest attitude towards the case in question and its participants. Judges must guard the interests of society, treat people with care and tolerance.
