Article 61. Conducting the case through representatives

Cases of legal entities in court are conducted by their bodies and (or) representatives acting within the powers provided by the legislation or constituent documents.

Citizens have the right to conduct their cases in court in person and (or) through their representatives. The personal participation of a citizen in the case does not deprive him of the right to have a representative in the case.

The rights and legally protected interests of incapacitated or partially incapacitated persons shall be protected in court by their legal representatives (parents, adoptive parents, guardians or trustees). Legal representatives may delegate court proceedings to a representative of their choice.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the following may be (voluntary) representatives under the contract:

1) advocates;

2) workers of the legal persons on cases of these persons;

3) authorized representatives of non-profit organizations — on the cases of members of these organizations;

4) authorized representatives of non-profit organizations, who are entitled by law to protect the rights and interests of others;

5) one of the procedural co-participants on behalf of other co-participants;

6) other persons admitted by the court at the request of the persons participating in the case.

Only advocates can engage in professional activities on the conduct of cases in the court as representatives.
