The article is devoted to the study of the grounds and measures for securing a claim in the commercial proceedings of Ukraine. Attention is drawn to the expansion of the list of grounds for securing a claim and the addition of the list of measures for securing a claim. Doctrinal approaches to understanding the legal nature and defining the concept of securing a claim are characterized, according to which securing a claim in commercial proceedings is considered as: an institution of commercial procedural law; a means of protecting a right and an interest protected by law by a court; procedural actions regarding the application by the court of measures provided for by law; measures of an economic procedural nature aimed at preventing possible complications in the execution of a court decision. With reference to the legal positions of judicial bodies, the following features inherent in securing a claim are characterized: targeted orientation, goal; implementation ofthe principles of equality, adversarial nature of the parties and proportionality; restrictive nature for the defendant; urgency (urgency) or efficiency of applying measures for securing a claim; timeliness (temporality) of measures for securing a claim. The article considers individual cases of restriction or impossibility of taking measures to secure a claim in relation to certain types of property, certain measures to secure a claim, and certain subjects. The new sub-institution of counter-security for commercial litigation and the procedure for compensation for losses caused by securing a claim are analyzed. It is noted that securing a claim can become an instrument of abuse and pressure on counterparties by the plaintiff, and therefore the introduction of counter-security and the procedure for compensation for losses caused by securing a claim serve as important guarantees to prevent the plaintiff from abusing his procedural rights.
