Bridging the Gaps: Harmonizing Procedural Models in Civil and Economic Justice

Abstract

This article is devoted to the problems of classifying types of proceedings in the Economic Procedural Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Particular attention is given to the need to clarify the concept of “certain categories of cases,” to systematize procedural forms, and to legislate special (non-contentious) proceedings as an independent type of adjudication. The article justifies the expediency of amending Article 1 of the Economic Procedural Code to eliminate legal uncertainty, improve the effectiveness of law enforcement, and ensure consistency in judicial practice. Specific amendments are proposed, along with arguments in favor of harmonizing the approaches of the Economic and Civil Procedural Codes to the classification of procedural forms. The results of the study are aimed at improving procedural legislation amid the ongoing judicial and legal reforms in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
