The article analyzes the legal nature of summary proceedings and examines the criteria for differentiating between civil cases subject to consideration in action proceedings and civil law claims resolved in writ proceedings. The ineffectiveness of such a criterion as the “indisputability of the claim” is demonstrated. It is proposed to make it mandatory to notify the debtor that an application for a court order has been submitted to the court. If no objections are received from the debtor within the prescribed time limit, it would be advisable to deprive the debtor of the right to raise objections to the court order that has already been issued.
