 Abstract 

The article is devoted to the problems of the use by a defendant of such a means of protecting his rights as objections to a lawsuit filed in civil proceedings. The concept of remedies against a lawsuit is revealed, the purpose of their application for protecting the defendant of their rights and legitimate interests is revealed, and a classification of remedies is given based on the goal. For a more detailed consideration of such a category as objections to a claim, its concept is defined and a conditional division into subgroups is given. Based on the analysis of theory and practice, examples of the application of this method of protection to achieve results in the form of a court refusal to satisfy the claimed claims, or in the form of the impossibility of continuing the consideration of the dispute on the merits, are given. The article also presents the structure of the objection as a procedural remedy, and traces the features of pointing the court to those or other facts on which the defendant's defense position is based. A study of judicial practice led to the conclusion that the essence of the stated objections most often boils down to the groundlessness of the claims.
