The main problem associated with judicial activity is the lack of systematic legislative regulation of all its aspects, and the emergence of new institutions in criminal proceedings, which are included in judicial activity, is not always accompanied by a simultaneous clarification of the procedural powers of the judge. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to identify the modern trends of criminal procedural activity of the judge, which do not have sufficient and systematic legislative regulation and the formation of author's proposals to eliminate gaps in legislation. The tasks set by the author are aimed at the theoretical substantiation of the need for legislative regulation of judicial activity at the procedural stages after the refusal to initiate a criminal case or its termination by the decision of the investigator or inquirer, and on this basis the development and formulation of proposals to clarify certain provisions of the criminal procedure law.
