Commentary on Article 286 of the Code of Criminal Procedure
The analyzed norm provides the basis and procedure for the study during the trial of documents submitted by the parties or claimed by the court. Such documents may include various references, letters, acts, characteristics, payment documents, explanations of citizens, etc. The parties are entitled to submit copies of documents certified in the manner prescribed by law to a court session.
Within the meaning of the article, in the court session, the parties may submit any documents recorded both in writing and in another form. For the study of documents, see Art. 285 Code of Criminal Procedure.
The right to submit evidence during the trial, which includes documents provided for by Art. 84 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, granted by law to the victim (paragraph 4 of part 2 of article 42 of the CPC), private prosecutor (part 2 of article 43 of the CPC), civil plaintiff (paragraph 2 of part 4 of article 44 of the CPC), representatives of the victim, civil the plaintiff and the private prosecutor (part 3 of article 45 of the Code of Criminal Procedure), the accused (paragraph 4 of part 4 of article 47 of the Code of Criminal Procedure), the legal representative of a minor defendant (paragraph 3 of article 1 of article 428 of the Code of Criminal Procedure), and the civil defendant (paragraph 7 part 2 of article 54 of the Code of Criminal Procedure), to the representative of the civil defendant (part 2 of article 55 of the Code of Criminal Procedure).
Defender according to paragraph 2 of Part 1 of Art. 53 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in the manner prescribed by Part 3 of Art. 86 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the right to collect and submit evidence necessary for the provision of legal assistance.
Part 2 of Art. 86 of the CPC provides for a slightly different scope of the right of the accused, victim, civil plaintiff, civil defendant, their representatives to collect and present evidence. In accordance with this rule, these persons have the right to collect and present only written documents and objects for evidence in the criminal case. It seems that the analyzed norms do not contain a contradiction. Within the meaning of Part 2 of Art. 86 of the CPC, written documents and objects should be understood as both paper and other storage media, including photographs, audio and video recordings, electronic digital recordings, etc.
At the hearing, only those documents that are relevant for establishing the circumstances to be proved can be investigated and attached to the materials of the criminal case. Previously, all documents are presented to the parties for review. At the same time, their opinion on the need for research and the attachment of documents to the case file is heard.
The motives for introducing and researching these documents are set forth by the court in a determination or ruling. The definition (resolution) also indicates the name of the document, the need to introduce it to the case, the procedure for its study, the composition of the participants, etc. (see article 84 of the CPC). The methods for examining documents received by the court or submitted by the parties are determined depending on the specific circumstances of the case. These documents may be announced at the hearing, examined, subjected to examination, etc.
Documents that cannot be attached to a criminal case must be described in detail in the minutes of the court session containing the information contained in them, details, forms, other properties and signs.
