Article 152. Resolution of the issue of accepting a statement of claim for proceedings

The judge alone, no later than five days from the date of receipt of the statement of claim by the court, resolves the issue of accepting it for proceedings, refusing to accept it or returning it or transferring it to another court within its jurisdiction.

A ruling is issued on the acceptance, refusal to accept a statement of claim for production or the return of a statement of claim or the transfer of a statement of claim to another court under jurisdiction, copies of which are sent to the persons participating in the case no later than the next day from the date of its issuance.

Upon receipt of a statement of claim (application) or case materials from a civil court or an administrative court under jurisdiction, the judge, having established that the statement of claim (application) does not meet the requirements specified in Articles 149, 150 and 151 of this Code, notifies the claimant no later than five days from the date of receipt of the application (complaint) to the court on the need to eliminate deficiencies and provides him with a period for this, which may not exceed ten days.
