Економетрична оцінка продуктивності суду в процесі розгляду кримінальних проваджень на прикладі роботи вищого антикорупційного суду

Abstract

The article presents the results of an econometric assessment of the weighted average time of consideration of criminal proceedings by the High Anti-Corruption Court, which was carried out according to an alternative approach to the methodology of the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine. As a result of the research, it was established that the actual weighted average time of consideration of criminal proceedings may be more than 84 hours of net procedural time or more than 3 calendar years, contrary to the normative assessment of the State Judicial Administration, according to which the weighted average time of consideration of criminal proceedings is 9 hours and 11 minutes. The basis of the current assessment is the data of the 3-year monitoring of proceedings by the High Anti-Corruption Court of a sample of criminal proceedings that were studied. Taking into account that the limited number of investigated data does not reflect the total number of criminal proceedings pending before the High Anti-Corruption Court, as well as the fact that at the time of evaluation only 19 out of 53 criminal proceedings under investigation were completed, the obtained results should be considered preliminary and that need to be reassessed in the future. However, the trend of the research data indicates that the revaluation, most likely, will correct the estimated weighted average time of consideration of criminal proceedings in the direction of increase, i.e. the difference with the normative and calculation data of the State Judicial Administration will grow. The results of this study can become an impetus or a basis for further research on the productivity of the judicial system in the consideration of criminal cases.
