Abstract
The legal issue addressed in the study is the problem of the court‘s application of legal rules as a basis for the decision rendered in the conducted exploratory proceedings. It arises when a specific provision of the Code of Civil Procedure cannot be identified as the basis for a court decision relating to the course of the trial. Meanwhile, the court‘s pronouncement leads to the designation of an order for the appropriate behavior of the participants in the trial along with the introduction of a mandate for their actions relating to the possibility of reviewing the correctness of the decision made on appeal. The examination of the legal text is then carried out using the rule of inference - analogy legis - for the possibility of issuing a decision by the court on the basis of the provisions regulating a similar procedural situation. But the extent of the similarities can be quite disparate, which in turn leads to the question of the court‘s appropriateness or creation of law. The study is related to the conduct of activities within the formal-dogmatic research method. The subject of the study was the current provisions of public law contained in the Code of Civil Procedure regulating the course of deliberative proceedings in civil cases with the extension of its systemic context. Various elements of this method were included in the course of the research work, ranging from systematic elements with criteria and types of legal interpretation, along with the differentiation of legal principles and rules, through the issue of gaps in the law, to the use of elements of logical reasoning and linguistic analysis of legal texts in order to develop the foundations. for the court to make a decision relating to a pending civil case. The summary of the research work, taking into account the element of criticism, allowed us to conclude that there is no proper regulation that could be the basis for the court‘s decision on the formal termination of civil proceedings. It is impossible to justify the behaviour of the legislator, who in the sphere of application of public law provisions, despite more than a dozen amendments, has not introduced appropriate changes, either by including a vague expression in the area of premises for conducting proceedings, or by updating them on an ongoing basis.
