A record is kept at each hearing of the case in the courts of first instance, and is also drawn up for each individual procedural action. The protocol records all information about the court session (orders of the presiding judge, testimony of witnesses, the content of the pleadings, and so on). Responsible for the content of the minutes of the court session are the presiding judge and the secretary of the court session. There is a certain procedure for obtaining the minutes of the court session.
Instructions
Step 1
Although the legislator does not provide for a specific article regarding the issuance of copies of the minutes of the court session, Article 35 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation gives the right to persons participating in the case to get acquainted with the case materials and make copies of them. The minutes of the court session refers to the case file.
Step 2
Clause 3 of Article 230 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation stipulates that the term for the production of the protocol in the final form is three days, and the protocol of a separate procedural action is drawn up and signed no later than the next day after the commission of this action. Until the protocol is made and signed, you may be denied a copy of it, since the document simply does not exist.
Step 3
According to article 231 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, the ready-made protocol can be consulted within five days from the date of its signing and comments can be submitted in writing if inaccuracies were made in it or its text is incomplete.
Step 4
To obtain a copy of the minutes of the court session, it is necessary to submit in writing to the name of the judge in whose proceedings the case is, an application for a copy of the minutes of the court session. In order for the court employees to prepare and issue a copy of the minutes of the court session, the judge in charge of the case applies a visa to the application for its satisfaction.
Step 5
Some copies of documents produced by the court are not issued free of charge. It is necessary to check with the court staff the cost of a copy of one page and pay the state fee, based on the number of pages of the minutes of the court session. The receipt should be attached to your application.
