Abstract

This article is an original study of the mutual relations between procedural law and substantive law, with a working hypothesis that rejects previous attempts to resolve this problem in the application of the law on the basis of opposites. Such an approach blurs the differences between procedural law and substantive law and tends to subordinate these two branches of law to the same principles, and hence such attempts must be treated as flawed. The application of the law confirms the hypothesis that the sense of substantive law regulations boils down to their procedural effects. The question of the superiority of procedural law over substantive law remains open. There is a close interdependence between the system of procedural law and the system of substantive law. The issue presented in this article is important both for the theory and practice of applying the law.
