The aim of the research is to study the impact of legislative and doctrinal sources of European Union (EU) law, as well as judicial practice of the EU Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on the application of the main principles of protection of violated civil rights in the Ukrainian judicial proceedings. The research employed a doctrinal approach, a comparative law, a sociological method, and a case study. The analysis revealed the principles of protection of violated civil rights contained in the European doctrine and legislative sources. It was emphasized that the application of European practice is valuable in terms of the need to solve the problems existing in the Ukrainian judicial system. They include: legal uncertainty, frequent disregard of the principles of good faith and fairness, lack of effective mechanisms for the protection of rights, which leads to unpredictable legal consequences, violation of the principle of legitimate expectations and the rule of law. It was noted that the adaptation of Ukrainian legislation to European requirements should correspond to national realities and take into account constitutional and social values.
