The article is devoted to the issues of liability in the judicial system, which is essential for its functioning. It is the matrix structure of liability which is necessary to ensure proper procedural activity of courts. The author outlines the latest approaches to the study of liability in court proceedings based on scientific developments on general legal liability and liability in administrative proceedings. In particular, the matrix approach to liability is new in the context of the judicial system reform, which is associated with the introduction of new technologies and methods, ensuring the efficiency and transparency of court activities, proper fulfillment of procedural duties, and improvement of the functions of judicial control over the execution of decisions and liability in their adoption.

The purpose of the article is to outline modern approaches to improving the efficiency of court proceedings using a new matrix method of liability in procedural activities. Based on a comprehensive analysis of theoretical, methodological and legal frameworks, the author substantiates and develops the concept of systemic liability, in particular, its external and internal matrix of court procedural activity.

It is proved that the prospects of implementing the matrix approach to the courts’ activities as an effective way to enhance justice guarantee the possibility of systematizing all stages of the judicial process, identifying uncoordinated actions and separating them with the help of information technology, since the functioning of each individual subdivision of the system is part of the overall responsibility matrix.

The article proposed by the author covers the main area of justice and is viewed through the prism of matrix liability for misconduct, non-compliance with the law, violation of human rights, and lowering the level of public trust in the judicial institution. Considering the judicial process through the updated system of liability as the primary basis of procedural activity, the author focuses on its features which form and streamline judicial proceedings at all levels, ensuring their transparency and efficiency. The author emphasizes that the full matrix of responsibility and the matrix of powers cover the entire range of procedural activities, which will allow systematizing it with the help of the latest technologies.
