Introduction: the paper discusses the controversial issues of understanding and defining the content of the term “criminal procedure act” and its relation to the procedural document in the context of its use for the commissioning of forensic examination in criminal procedure. The different status of participants in criminal proceedings causes them to be unequal, as well as those procedural documents that they publish. The proposed conclusions on this issue and some practical proposals to amend the legislation are based on the analysis of available research in criminal procedure science. The purpose of the study is to develop proposals for improving the legislation in the field of commissioning of forensic examination. Methods: the author uses the dialectical method, generalization, comparison, analysis, and others, which makes it possible to form the paper. Results: the study substantiates the importance of the issues selected for consideration, indicates a range of possible solutions to the problems identified, in particular, the correlation between the investigator’s criminal procedure act on commissioning of forensic examination and the lawyer’s petition, and highlights other related issues. Conclusions: these issues require further study, understanding, and amendments in the current criminal procedure legislation.
Key words: criminal procedure act, document, investigator, lawyer, forensic examination, criminal procedure.
