Abstract
The content of the category “validity of court decision” is researched. The connection between the validity of a court decision and such categories as “objective (material) truth” and “judicial (legal) truth” is established. It is established that the principle of objective truth can be used in determining the validity of a judicial act if the court is empowered to carry out its own investigation into the circumstances of the case (and therefore characteristic of the investigative model of the trial). According to this criterion, a court decision is considered justified only if the court has collected satisfactory evidence to enable on this basis to make absolutely reliable conclusions about the presence or absence of all the circumstances relevant for the resolution of the case. It is stated that unlike the investigation process, in a competitive process in the event of a lack of evidence, the court must declare the failure by the party concerned to prove the burden of proof and make a decision depending on the distribution of the burden of proof between the parties. Consequently, the court establishes the so-called judicial (legal, formal) truth. Judicial truth should not be opposed to the objective (material) truth. They relate to each other as an ideal model of the ultimate goal of judicial knowledge (objective truth) and the real result of the cognitive activity of the court, obtained as a result of the use of its available procedural means (judicial truth). It is concluded that a court decision adopted on the merits of the declared claims can be considered justified if the court has established the circumstances of the case on the basis of the statement of fulfilment (or non-fulfilment) by the parties of their burden of proof based on the internal conviction of the court formed on the basis of fully and thoroughly clarified circumstances, to which parties are referred to as the basis of their claims and objections, confirmed by the evidence that was investigated in the court session on a principle close to the standard of proof “beyond reasonable doubt”. A court decision may be considered justified if the court has established the circumstances necessary for rendering a decision, on the basis of the statement of execution (or non-execution) by the parties of their burden of proof of the internal conviction of the court, formed on the principle close to the standard of proof of the “balance of probabilities”. A court order may be considered justified if the court has established the existence of a debtor’s monetary obligation to the applicant, and the absence of a dispute about the right, based on the statement of the applicant’s failure to fulfil his/her burden of proof, based on the internal conviction of the court, formed on the principle close to the standard of proof “beyond reasonable doubt”.
