	BRAMA Law Ukraine's Court System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		With Ukraine's push to open capital markets and stimulate business growth and investment ñ central to which is the closing of contracts between parties ñ the arbitration court system has moved from the periphery of Ukraine's still Soviet-based court system to a central position with an ever-increasing docket.
		In Ukraine the length of a lease contract cannot be changed, so the arbitration courts have regularly analyzed contracts to determine the actual length of the agreements, and determine their effect, according to Liudmilla Panova, owner and director of the legal firm Modul.
		She explained that in Ukraine contracts are often poorly written because the parties to the contract are not aware of what a legally enforceable contract must include, which leaves it up to the arbitration court to untangle the mess that can result.

	The judicial system
		The Action Plan covers many of the problems in the current judicial system but not yet the overall structure of the judicial system itself (which covers judges, prosecutors and investigators), or their high level of immunity, where Constitutional change is required.

	Implementation of Judicial and Legal Reforms in Ukraine

		Nevertheless, a bifurcated judicial system somewhat complicates the doctrine of separation of powers because the courts of general jurisdiction, in my opinion, lack the tools necessary to act as a separate but co-equal branch of government.
		Enforcement of judicial decisions The establishment of the rule of law principle rests with a development of a system which respects and enforces judicial decisions.
