About the Formation of the Term “Procedural Mobility” When the Court Considers Cases on the Protection of Housing Rights of Civil Servants and Members of Their Families

 The article is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of procedural mobility in the context of court consideration of cases on the protection of housing rights of civil servants and members of their families. Procedural mobility refers to a change in the procedural status of a subject during legal proceedings, for example, in the event of the death of a civil servant, when a family member can become a legal successor in the case. The article analyzes the norms of substantive law governing the provision of housing guarantees to civil servants and members of their families, as well as the conditions of succession.

The opinions of leading proceduralists on the procedure for procedural succession are considered. The author comes to the conclusion that when the plaintiff in housing disputes of civil servants retires in the event of his death, judicial proceedings, as a general rule, are not suspended, since a singular legal succession takes place.

The article also raises the issue of gaps in the legislation regarding succession in the event of the death of an employee under circumstances not related to official duties. It is proposed to apply the analogy of the law, regardless of the conditions of death, and to regulate this issue legislatively.
