Abstract

The work is devoted to the actual problem of repeated consideration by courts of general jurisdiction of similar disputes contrary to the principles of procedural economy and legal certainty. The main scientific methods are used: the dialectical-materialistic method of scientific knowledge, the formal-logical method, the method of analysis and synthesis. We subject the elements of the claim to scientific analysis as a means of its individualization. We examines in detail the views of scientists on the subject of the claim, the actual and legal basis of the claim, the parties and the content of the claim as objects of individualization of claims when establishing their identity. Close attention is paid to the use of alternative grounds of claim in disputes arising from ongoing legal relations. We study the ways of artificially changing the new claim in order to overcome the validity of the court decision made on the original claim. We formulate a proposal for a temporary restriction on the filing of new claims in disputes characterized by continuing legal relations, and also justifies the expediency of introducing the concept of “actual identity” of claims into scientific circulation. In conclusion, we mark the dishonest methods of overcoming of identity claims, among which manipulation of the legitimation of the parties to the dispute, interpretation existed at the time of consideration of the initial claim of the circumstances of the case as a new cause of action, the formal change of the plaintiff.
