THE STRUGGLE OF WORLDVIEWS IN THE FORMULATION OF LEGAL NORMS ON MEASURES OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND PROCEDURAL ENFORCEMENT

Abstract

The article reveals the main contradictions that arise between the scientific worldview and the worldview of the legislator on measures of administrative coercion. Emphasis is placed on the fact that in the development of regulations that contain administrative law, often ignore the achievements of the science of administrative law and process and use the achievements of related sciences, in particular, the theory of state and law, theory of public administration, theory of procedural law, etc. On the one side, this indicates the openness of knowledge of administrative law, because it uses the experience of other sciences, and, on the other – the chaos of scientific knowledge about administrative law phenomena, as well as the further process of unbalancing the existing doctrine of administrative law. On the example of the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On the National Police” the inconsistency of the norms of the administrative legislation with the provisions of the doctrine of administrative law on measures of administrative coercion is revealed. Also, on the example of the provisions of the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine, the influence on the process of formation of norms of administrative law on measures of administrative coercion of the provisions of the theory of civil procedural law is revealed. It is proved that the measures of procedural coercion are heterogeneous in terms of target orientation and consequences of application. Some of them are aimed at providing evidence in the case, some – to ensure court proceedings, and some of them – to punish the person who violated the requirements of procedural law. Instead, administrative procedural legislation, regulating measures of procedural coercion, ignores the theory of administrative law and process and borrows the experience of civil procedural and economic procedural regulation. It is emphasized that the unification of procedural legislation, which is taking place today in Ukraine, destroys the system of science of administrative law and process. It is concluded that the rules of administrative law, which enshrine measures of administrative coercion and measures of procedural coercion, indicate a significant gap between the theory of law and rule-making, which threatens the continued existence and development of the theory of administrative law and process.
