Article 47. Procedural succession

In case of withdrawal of either party, a third person, or a legal representative in disputable legal relationship or relationship established by the decision of court (death of the citizen, reorganization of the legal entity, assignment of the claim, transfer of the debt, etc.), the court shall allow replacement of these persons by their successors.

Succession shall be possible at any stage of civil proceedings. A ruling shall be rendered on the entry of a legal successor into the trial process.

After a party is replaced by a legal successor, the trial process shall continue at the stage at which the replacement was made.

For a successor, all acts committed in the trial process prior to his/her entry shall be binding to the same extent as they would have been binding on the person replaced by the successor. The successor shall have the right to consult all the case files.
