Abstract
To successfully defend your rights in court, you should clearly understand the content and legal nature of the actions necessary for this. At the same time, the theory of civil procedure has not yet formed a unified approach to solving the question of what a civil process is, what elements it consists of.
Since the civil process is one of the types of legal activity, its primary element is the procedural action. Setting the goal of determining the structure of the civil process, it is necessary to determine not only the list of its constituent parts and their names, but also their spatial and temporal boundaries.
It should be noted that individual procedural actions cannot exist separately from each other, and therefore, the procedural form not only determines the order of their commission, but also combines them into a certain system. At the same time, the analysis of works devoted to the application of the system method in jurisprudence allowed us to conclude that the civil process is a set of various elements that are in relationships and connections with each other, forming a certain integrity, unity.
Thus, the primary element of the civil process is the procedural actions, which make up the stages and stages. At the same time, it is not necessary to consider the process itself as a chain of interconnected links going in order one after another. The civil process is rather a set of relatively isolated elements that can form various structural connections depending on the circumstances of a particular case. They can exist not only within certain stages or stages, but also beyond them.
