The author has studied the provisions of the current Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine in the part
of regulation of participation of a legal entity’s representative in criminal proceedings, against which
the proceedings are initiated.
It is noted that the procedural status of a legal entity, against which criminal proceedings are initiated is
not provided in the current Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine. At the same time the representative of
a legal entity, against which the criminal proceedings are initiated, is singled out as a party of criminal
and court proceedings; however, he is not considered as any of the parties of criminal proceedings.
It is emphasized that difficulties in legal enforcement activity may occur regarding advanced notice
of a manager or other person authorized by the law or constituent documents, and an employee of a
legal entity about the time and place of a trial. On the one hand, it refers to the case of another residence
or location of a manager, the presence of branches or other business units within the structure
of a legal entity. On the other hand, it provides the latter an opportunity to abuse procedural rights
and duties, resulting in a deviation from the messages that are sent to a legal entity’s address or other
actions intended to avoid criminal liability. The author pays attention to the fact that the Criminal
Procedural Code of Ukraine does not contain requirements for the delivery of notices about the proceedings
directly to a representative of a legal entity, against which the proceedings are initiated. This
indicates about a possible violation of the right to be informed in advance.
Based on the conducted research it is offered to make necessary legislative amendments and alterations.
