New Approach to the Classification of Interim Judgments

The article provides a classification of interim court decisions on the basis of the established concept of paragraph 53.3 of Art. 5 of the Criminal Procedure Code (hereinafter referred to as the CPC) of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the RF) on the basis of the relationship of such decisions with the final court decision and the fulfillment of the purpose of criminal proceedings. The interrelation of such decisions lies in the reflection of the conclusions of the interim decisions in the final decision and the ability to influence these conclusions on the adoption of a legal, reasonable and fair final court decision. This differentiation makes it possible to identify individual groups of decisions that have distinctive characteristics: the subject of the decision, the time of the decision, the grounds for the decision, legal regulation and other features. It is proposed to bring such solutions into separate independent groups of solutions.
