The object of the study is public relations regulating the determination of the jurisdiction of judicial disputes involving multifunctional centers for the provision of state and municipal services (MFC) on the territory of the Russian Federation. The subject of the study is the regulatory regulation of disputes involving the MFC. The purpose of the study is to identify theoretical and practical gaps in the regulatory legal regulation of the activities of multifunctional centers for the provision of state and municipal services and its interaction with public authorities and citizens–applicants. In the course of the study, methods of scientific-theoretical and scientific-practical analysis, comparative legal characteristics, formal-logical and analytical research methods were used. The topic under consideration is relevant due to the growing number of administrative disputes in the sphere of interaction between state bodies and citizens, as well as due to the large coverage of the population with MFC services (96%), which, given the weak legal regulation of the issue of MFC litigation, creates a serious problem. The novelty of the study is that the legal status of the MFC is analyzed from the point of view of the independence and autonomy of the subject of legal relations in court disputes and the gaps in federal legislation regulating the activities of the MFC are investigated in the light of its connection with the jurisdiction and scope of administrative proceedings. According to the results of the study, it was found that the norms of Federal Law No. 210 do not allow unambiguously establishing the jurisdiction of a dispute involving a multifunctional center and do not contain a judicial procedure for considering a dispute as such.
