This article proposes the development of a new type of civil and arbitration proceedings – proceedings in cases involving public-law entities. Based on an analysis of the legal positions of Russia's highest courts, the provisions of current substantive and procedural legislation, and judicial practice, the author believes that public-law entities, which should include public legal entities, pursue public interests within the framework of civil legal relations, which requires procedural specifics in the consideration and resolution of disputes arising from these relations. The author justifies the enhanced procedural role of the court in these cases, highlighting the need to enshrine procedural presumptions and clearly define the procedural status of the prosecutor filing a claim in defense of the state.
