| Annotation | The article highlights some problems pertaining to how the Supreme Court ensures the unity of court practice in modern realities. The purpose of the study is to identify the threats to modernization of the mechanisms which ensure the unity of court practice; to develop proposals for their improvement and expansion; to define the concept and types of the mechanisms which ensure the unity of court practice in general. The author shows the importance of ensuring the unity of court practice from the perspective of the European Court of Human Rights. Furthermore, the author critically analyzes the new approaches developed by the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court with a view to ensuring the unity of court practice and proves that they are insufficient and have low efficiency in the situation of changingness (where the Supreme Court deviates from its own legal positions on numerous occasions) and a growing plurality of legal positions of the Supreme Court. The conclusion is made about the need to modernize (improve) the existing mechanisms which ensure the unity of court practice with a view to enhancing their efficiency. The article criticizes the progressive tendency of making the Supreme Court’s legal positions binding (giving them the meaning of a case in precedent) at the legislative level (by making appropriate changes to the procedural codes), and forecasts possible probable threats and negative consequences of such an innovation. A special focus is given to the concept and signs of a case in precedent and its nature. The author notes that the essence of a case in precedent primarily depends on the legal system within which it has originated and develops. The author also notes a trend to an enhanced role of law. The article suggests alternative ways to ensuring the unity of court practice in economic court procedure. The concept and types of mechanisms ensuring the unity of court practice in economic court procedure are defined. They are classified by their content and orientation.
