The author examines the reasons, subject and dynamics of petitions to the Supreme Court to protect social human rights, analyzes the legal position of the Supreme Court in the judicial system of Ukraine on the formation of judicial practice in resolving social disputes. The existence of a number of legislative conflicts in the legal regulation of social benefits has been stated, so it is difficult to resolve social disputes. National legislation in the field of social security is multifaceted and even contradictory, such legislation is «oversaturated» with various incomprehensible additions and not always appropriate changes. Often the result of such legislative changes is a decrease in social standards, the abolition of certain benefits, loss of succession in the mechanism of recalculation of social benefits and other things that put a person in a dead end and force him to seek the truth in court. The Supreme Court, defending its legal positions in social disputes, conceptually assumes that the norms of the Constitution of Ukraine are norms of direct action, laws and other normative legal acts must correspond not only to the «letter» but also to the «spirit» of the Constitution of Ukraine to her both in content and in essence. It is argued that the mechanism of judicial control over the use of power by the state is an integral part of the principle of the rule of law, which is the ascending fundamental basis for the functioning and development of the rule of law, social state. Keywords: social dispute, legal position, social assistance, one-time financial assistance.
