Abstract. The article is devoted to the study of normative – legal support of enforcement of court decisions through the prism of law enforcement practice.

Emphasis is placed on the elements of a developing democratic society, which is open to change, implementation and enforcement of court decisions used by citizens, where an important role is given to the legislation on the implementation of the rules of enforcement proceedings.

The changes taking place in Ukrainian society arouse high activity and the desire of people to take a direct part in solving problems that concern their common interests, including the use of the right to peaceful assembly.  However, despite the importance of this type of political rights, the constitutional provisions on the protection of citizens' rights to a fair trial and enforcement of a court decision, which are still not properly specified in current legislation, are often limited or even violated.

The need to amend procedural legislation taking into account the latest advances in science; the presence of different positions of scientists on the understanding of the essence and content of legal relations at the stage of implementation of the decision; negative practice of execution of judicial acts in Ukraine, which leads to the appeal of Ukrainian citizens to the European Court of Human Rights.

The main innovation of the adopted laws and the basis of the concept of reform, which is laid down, is the introduction of the institution of private executors, which operates alongside the state executive service and performs the functions of enforcement of courts and other bodies.
