The article is dedicated to investigation of counter-security as a novelty of the reform of Ukrainian civil procedure legislation. The analysis of rules of the current procedural legislation on counter-security as a novelty of the civil process in Ukraine was made in the article. The determination of features of the institute of counter-security in the mechanism of civil proceedings was given. The role of counter-security in the civil process was identified. The conclusion was drawn that through the institute of counter-security, the principle of equality of parties is ensured, which is manifested in the equal assignment of the defendant to such procedural rights which are effectively identical to the rights of the plaintiff. Therefore, the defendant was granted effective protection against the claim by virtue of the new institute. It is stated that the counter-security should be seen as a way of preventing the plaintiff's abuse of procedural rights and offsetting the potential consequences. The introduction of counter-security is a clear step forward to European standards of quality and efficiency in the administration of justice, however, by examining civil procedural law and jurisprudence, the conclusion was made that the institution is not regulated at this stage of its establishment and application.
