Norms and Tasks in Russian Legislation on Administrative Proceedings

The authors' goal is to identify the theoretical content of norm-tasks. The authors also seek to determine the features of the legal formalization of such norms in the legislation on administrative proceedings. This study involved the main methodological approaches that are used in the scientific study of legal technique. The main significance among them was given to the formal-logical method in connection with the structural-functional approach. Together they allowed to identify general and special features of legislative norms in the sphere of administrative legal proceedings. Of particular methodological significance was the textual analysis of the current Russian legislation and the method of legal hermeneutics. It contributed to the distinction between norms-tasks from norms-goals, norms-principles and norms-guarantees. Conclusion: the norms-tasks in the Russian legislation on administrative proceedings are expressed in several forms. The criteria for their distinction are: legal technique, the subject and method of legal regulation, as well as the functional purpose of a separate normative structure. In combination, these features allow us to classify these norms into general (effective in all administrative-procedural legal relations) and special (effective at individual stages or in certain categories of administrative cases).
