Administrative Legal Proceedings as a Type of Administrative Procedural Activity

The shaping of a unified generally recognized concept of the administrative procedure and the definition of its structure requires clarification of the legal nature of the courts’ activities to resolve disputes based on the CAS of the Russian Federation on rights and obligations in the administrative and public sphere, the application of administrative restrictions and coercion. The author analyzes the content of the procedural activity of courts in the implementation of the norms of administrative and other substantive branches of law in order to determine its compliance with the key features of the administrative procedure in the context of comparing their subject matter, the structure of procedural activity, the features and content of administrative procedural relations, types of relations between the subject conducting the process and its participants. The conformity of the procedural forms of consideration and resolution of administrative cases based on the implementation of permits in order to protect the right or to ensure the operation of prohibitions due to the commission of offenses, legal anomalies, to the administrative and legal type of regulation, primarily ensuring the implementation of regulations, is assessed. Administrative legal proceedings are a procedural form of justice and a type of administrative procedural activity of courts for the implementation of the norms of administrative law and other material branches, and it can be considered «administrative» only with a certain degree of conditionality. In comparison with the proceedings that are part of the structure of the «traditional» administrative process, the administrative proceedings have a different legal status of its main participants (parties), the nature of the relations between them and the subject conducting the process, the ratio of procedural stages and proceedings. The substantive nature of administrative cases is not decisive for administrative proceedings, there is a partial discrepancy between the procedural (claim) form of administrative proceedings and the unified method of legal regulation.
