Resolution of October 24, 2025 No. 1657
A new professional holiday, Court Employee's Day, will be celebrated annually on November 5th. A resolution to this effect has been signed.
The celebration commemorates the issuance of Emperor Peter I's decree "On the Form of the Court." This decree was issued in 1723.
The document established the procedure for hearing cases by the courts and stipulated that civil cases and most criminal cases be heard with the direct participation of both parties. Furthermore, provisions were included regarding the court's actions upon summoning the plaintiff or defendant, as well as the court's right to apply coercive measures against the parties, such as arrest.
The initiative to establish a holiday date was supported by the President, who was approached by the Chairman of the Supreme Court, Igor Krasnov.
