Problems of the Legal Status of the Representative of the Injured Legal Entity in Criminal Proceedings

The study seems relevant, since the issue of procedural conflicts associated with recording the testimony of a representative of an injured legal entity is quite controversial and arousing interest. The question of the status of the representative of the injured legal entity participating in the legal proceedings is problematic due to the fact that the representative of the injured legal entity is authorized to exercise the rights of the victim, without actually being one. Thus, the representative of the injured legal entity does not fully have the latter’s subjectivity. The purpose of the study is to establish, in the course of the study, the problematic aspects of the legal status of the representative of the injured legal entity in criminal proceedings. To ensure the achievement of the objectives of the study, the tasks of a comprehensive analysis of the current criminal procedural legislation and judicial practice, an in-depth study of the norms and rules governing the procedure for the participation of a representative of an injured legal entity in criminal proceedings are solved. 
Based on general scientific and special scientific methods used in this study, procedural conflicts and practice were analyzed, issues requiring legal solutions were identified, and measures aimed at improving the current legislation were proposed. The results of the study indicate the need to resolve problematic issues by making some changes to the norms of criminal procedural legislation and the criminal procedure.
