On March 15, the Bar Association of Ukraine together with EQUITY law firm held the largest event of the season - the II BAU Judicial Forum, which gathered more than 500 attorneys and judges together to discuss the realities of the national judicial practice in the country!
Traditionally, the event was opened by практики - Оleg Malinevskiy EQUITY Partner, the Chairman of the Committee on Judicial Practice, who, after the opening speech, took the place of the moderator of Session 1 "New Philosophy of Justice in Action. View of Attorneys and Judges".
The first session of the forum was devoted to the discussion of topical issues regarding the activities of the newly created Supreme Court, the significance of its practice and procedural changes in legislation. In addition, the participants had the opportunity to share practical experience and ideas about the new opportunities opened up by the judicial reform.
A heated discussion was held within the framework of the boutique conference “Bankruptcy and Restoration of Solvency in the Banking Sector". Оleg Malinevskyi , EQUITY Partner, represented the sphere of bankruptcy and restructuring. Almost 30 speakers - leading specialists from various fields of law discussed the most urgent issues of practice in protecting the rights to professional activities of arbitration managers, directions for the improvement and restoration of insolvent banks and creditor committees, SRO performance and many other issues. The idea of boutique conferences not only succeeded, but also justified itself through this implementation!
Viacheslav Kraglevych - Partner at EQUITY, joined the third session of the Forum. Within the framework of the new format of the discussion, the judiciary seat, lawyers and judges discussed the issues of abuse of discretion by judges, peculiarities of the use of ECHR practices and methods for combating procedural sabotage. Viacheslav's question gave rise to a real fight, because discretion is interpreted by each of the participants at his or her own discretion. The judges' views of this topic differed considerably.
We are very grateful to the Bar Association of Ukraine for the possibility to join the open discussion and to all the participants for their heated discussions and the opportunity to work together to find solutions to the actual problems of practice.
