In the context of procedural law, a commercial case (commercial dispute) refers to any case that is considered in commercial courts of general jurisdiction in accordance with the commercial procedural legislation of Ukraine.
The main purpose of legal assistance provided by an attorney in resolving commercial disputes is to ensure the legal and timely resolution of disputes related to the client's business activities, as well as to monitor the enforcement of the decision in such a case.
One of the characteristics of commercial cases is the composition of the participants, who, according to current legislation, are considered subjects of private or public law or state bodies that protect their commercial interests on behalf of the state.
Commercial cases are initiated only at the initiative of an interested party.
Thus, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, as well as individuals who are not entrepreneurs, state authorities, and local self-government bodies have the right to apply to the commercial court for the protection of their violated, unrecognized, or disputed rights and legitimate interests in cases falling under the jurisdiction of commercial proceedings.
The resolution of commercial disputes is mandatory and is carried out in strict compliance with the norms of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Commercial, Civil, and Commercial Procedural Codes of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine "On Private International Law," the Law of Ukraine "On the Restoration of the Debtor's Solvency or the Recognition of the Debtor as Bankrupt," as well as international treaties ratified by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
