TRIAL GENERAL PROVISIONS

Article 271. Court session’s routine

Presiding judge maintains order during court session.

All participants to trial, as well as those present in court room are required to follow presiding judge’s instructions indisputably, to keep the established order of court session and refrain from any actions that testify obvious contempt of court or the rules established by the court. For the contempt of court guilty persons are brought to responsibility prescribed by law. The question about the brining the person to responsibility for contempt of court is considered by the court immediately after commitment of the violation, and therefore a recess is announced in court session of the criminal trial.

All participants to trial address the court, give their testimonies, and make their statements upright.

Derogation from this rule is allowed only upon permission of the presiding judge. Persons, who have not attained the age of 16, unless they are defendants, victims, or witnesses in the case, are not allowed in the court room.
