Purpose of the study. The article examines the features of the participation of a minor in civil proceedings, determines the scope of his procedural capacity, and reveals the dependence of procedural norms on material ones, which makes it possible to determine the specifics of protecting the sectoral rights of the child. It has been proven that the procedural status of a minor will make it possible to more accurately determine the limits of his independence in civil proceedings, establish criteria for the participation of his legal representatives and identify categories of cases with his participation, the legal essence of which involves the protection of his rights only by his legal representatives. It is concluded that it is necessary to change the norms that determine the scope of the procedural capacity of a minor, which will ensure their synchronous application with industry-specific norms that provide for the child’s opportunities in the field of family and civil relations.
