COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL CERTAINTY IN THE LEGISLATION OF CONSTITUENT ENTITIES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE OFFENSES IN THE DECISIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

In the article the author pays close attention to the legislation on administrative offenses, since bringing to legal responsibility is always connected with the restriction of the rights and freedoms of persons held liable. Legislation on administrative offenses in the Russian Federation is presented at the level of federal legislation and legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Constituent entities of the Russian Federation are authorized to establish administrative responsibility for the violation of regulatory legal acts of constituent entities of the Federation and municipal legal acts. Both the federal and regional legislations are obliged to respect the basic principles of law to full extent. One of fundamental principles is the principle of legal certainty, which has been repeatedly stressed by the European Court of Human Rights and the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. The article analyzes the legal standings of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation concerning compliance with the principle of legal certainty on behalf of law-makers of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation when adopting laws on administrative responsibility. Compliance with Recommendations that have been developed will prevent violation of the principle of legal certainty when laws on administrative responsibility are being adopted by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Also, the article analyzes the existing regional legislation with regard to its compliance with the requirements of the principle of legal certainty. The vast majority of the laws of constituent entities of the Federation contain norms that do not comply with the principle of legal certainty. At the moment, norms that are similar or even analogous to those that the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation has abolished because they violated the principle of legal certainty continue to operate. At the same time, analyzing the needs and opportunities of the local law-makers in protecting the norms of constituent entities of the Federation and the norms of municipal legal acts, one can come to the conclusion that it is almost impossible to follow the principle of legal certainty in some spheres. First, this is caused by the need to protect municipal legal acts that have a common scope of regulation, but different content. When establishing administrative responsibility the federal law-maker does not ensure the compliance with the principle in question in all cases. Therefore, the problem of observing the principle of legal certainty in establishing administrative responsibility at all levels of legislation requires the development of common approaches. It is necessary to develop new mechanisms of a legislative technique that will allow complying with all the requirements of the principles of law.
