The provision on the highest legal force and direct effect of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, means that all constitutional norms have supremacy over laws and by-laws, due to which the courts, when considering specific court cases, must be guided by the Constitution of the Russian Federation (preamble of the Decree of the Plenum Supreme Court RF dated October 31, 1995 N 8 “On some issues of application by the courts of the Constitution Russian Federation in the administration of justice).

Article 11 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation

1. The court is obliged to resolve civil cases on the basis of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, international treaties of the Russian Federation, federal constitutional laws, federal laws, regulatory legal acts of the President of the Russian Federation, regulatory legal acts of the Government of the Russian Federation, regulatory legal acts of federal state authorities, constitutions (charters ), laws, other regulatory legal acts of state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, regulatory legal acts of local governments. The court resolves civil cases based on the customs of business turnover in cases provided for by regulatory legal acts.

Regulatory legal acts and other sources of substantive law, on the basis of which the courts resolve civil cases, are named in the order determined by their legal force: the Constitution, international treaties of the Russian Federation, FKZ, Federal Law, acts of the President and Government of the Russian Federation, acts of subjects of the Russian Federation, municipalities. It is easy to see that the precedents of the ECHR are not named among the sources of legal regulation of material legal relations. Meanwhile, having acceded to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, Russia recognized as binding on its courts the positions of the ECtHR in the interpretation of the Convention and its Protocols in decisions on specific cases (see Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of December 19, 2003 N 23). Business customs are applied in the field of entrepreneurial activity and only in exceptional cases can be applied by courts of general jurisdiction. The custom of business turnover should be understood as a rule of conduct that has not been provided for by law or an agreement, but has developed and applies to any area of ​​business activity. The custom of business turnover can be applied regardless of whether it is recorded in any document (published in the press, set out in a court decision that has entered into force on specific case based on similar circumstances, etc.). From the content of Art. 6 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation it follows that if the relationship that is the subject of regulation of civil law is not regulated by law or by agreement of the parties, then the custom of business turnover can be applied to it, provided that it does not contradict the provisions of the legislation or the contract binding on the participants in the relevant relationship (p. 2 article 5 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Instructions on the application of business customs are contained in paragraph 2 of Art. 478, paragraph 2 of Art. 513, paragraph 1 of Art. 722 GK.

The obligatory nature of the decisions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation for the courts follows from their duty to obey the Constitution of the Russian Federation and federal law in the administration of justice, as well as from the constitutional powers of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation to exercise judicial supervision over the activities of lower courts in the appropriate procedural form and to give explanations on the application of the rules of law. in judicial practice (Articles 120, 126 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation).

When comparing the legal force of the above normative acts, it should also be taken into account that, in accordance with Art. 76 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, laws and other normative acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation cannot contradict federal laws only if they are adopted on the subjects of the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation or on the subjects of joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and its subjects. If the named normative acts are adopted on the subjects of jurisdiction of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, in the event of a conflict between them, not a federal law, but a law or other normative act of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation shall apply.

Legal advice under Art. 11 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation

    Dmitry Bychnikov

    the law on the prosecutor's office is a source of civil procedural law?

    • Lawyer's response:

      The sources of civil procedural law are legal acts regulating the activities of subjects of civil procedure. Civil proceedings in federal courts of general jurisdiction are based on the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Federal Constitutional Law of December 31, 1996 No. 1-FK3 “On the Judicial System of the Russian Federation”, the Code of Civil Procedure and other federal laws adopted in accordance with them. The procedure for civil proceedings before a justice of the peace is determined by the above-mentioned regulatory legal acts, as well as by the Federal Law of December 17, 1998 No. 188-FZ “On Justices of the Peace in the Russian Federation”. In addition to these legislative acts, the norms of civil procedural law are contained in many other federal laws: the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (Articles 9, 152, 162, 166, 401, 415, 812, etc.); Family Code of the Russian Federation (Articles 7, 8, 11, 28, 49, 78, 79, 108, 125, etc.); Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Articles 382, ​​383, 390-394, 397, etc.) and others. International treaties by virtue of Part 4 of Art. 15 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation act as sources of civil procedural law. In this case, if an international treaty of the Russian Federation establishes other rules of civil proceedings than those provided for by law, the rules of the international treaty shall apply. In accordance with Art. 1 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, regulatory decrees of the President of the Russian Federation and decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation are not among the sources of civil procedural law. Also, the sources do not include explanations contained in the decisions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation, which act exclusively as acts of judicial interpretation of the norms of procedural law.

    Maria Pavlova

    I am a guarantor, disabled 3gr. combatant. According to the writ of execution of bailiffs withholding 50%. Right?

    • Lawyer's response:

      In order to get rid of this debt outright, you should apply to the court with a claim to recognize the transaction (guarantee) as invalid. The grounds can be very different, but based on the state of your health at the time of its completion and the circumstances of the transaction. It is better to consult with the nearest lawyer, because you will most likely need to write a statement of claim and represent your interests in court. If such grounds are not found, then you will have to pay. Pay attention to the current version of Article 79 of the Federal Law of October 02, 2007 No. N 229-ФЗ "On Enforcement Proceedings" (as amended and supplemented), from which it follows that execution cannot be levied on the property belonging to the debtor-citizen on the right of ownership, the list of which is established by the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. And, accordingly, to the current version of Article 446 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, from which it is clear that execution under executive documents cannot be levied on the following property owned by the debtor citizen on the right of ownership: residential premises (its parts), if for the debtor citizen and members of his family living together in the owned premises, it is the only premises suitable for permanent residence, with the exception of the property specified in this paragraph, if it is the subject of a mortgage and execution may be levied on it in accordance with the legislation on mortgage; land plots on which the objects specified in the second paragraph of this part are located, with the exception of the property specified in this paragraph, if it is the subject of a mortgage and execution may be levied on it in accordance with the legislation on mortgage; ordinary items home furnishings and household items, personal items (clothes, shoes and others), with the exception of jewelry and other luxury items; property needed for professional occupations a citizen-debtor, with the exception of items whose value exceeds one hundred minimum wages established by federal law; used for purposes not related to the implementation of entrepreneurial activities, breeding, dairy and working cattle, deer, rabbits, poultry, bees, feed necessary for their maintenance before pasture to pastures (leaving for an apiary), as well as outbuildings and structures necessary for their content; seeds needed for the next sowing; food and money for a total amount not less than the established subsistence level of the debtor citizen himself and his dependents; fuel needed by the family of the debtor citizen for cooking their daily food and heating during the heating season of their living quarters; means of transport and other property necessary for the citizen-debtor in connection with his disability; prizes, state awards, honorary and commemorative signs awarded to a debtor citizen. Conclusion: if, as a result of deductions by the bailiff, you have less than the established subsistence minimum for you and all persons who are dependent on you, then there is nothing correct in the actions of the bailiff. Such errors are usually corrected by a higher bailiff. You can see about the Russian living wage here: [link will appear after verification by the moderator] . guarantee. ru/3921257/ But it is more correct to look for a normative legal act of a competent supreme body the state authority of your subject of the federation (administration of the subject of the federation or a representative body).

    What should a magistrate do? When considering the controversial legal situation, the justice of the peace found that there were no rules governing this issue.

    • Lawyer's response:

      Legislators gave the answer to this question a long time ago. Refer to the source - Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation Article 11. Normative legal acts applied by the court in resolving civil cases 1. The court is obliged to resolve civil cases on the basis of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, international treaties of the Russian Federation, federal constitutional laws, federal laws, regulatory legal acts of the President of the Russian Federation , regulatory legal acts of the Government of the Russian Federation, regulatory legal acts of federal state authorities, constitutions (charters), laws, other regulatory legal acts of state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, regulatory legal acts of local governments. The court resolves civil cases, proceeding from the customs of business turnover in cases provided for by regulatory legal acts.2. The court, having established in resolving a civil case that a normative legal act does not comply with a normative legal act that has greater legal force, applies the norms of the act that has the greatest legal force. If there are no rules of law governing the disputed relationship, the court applies the rules of law governing similar relations (law analogy), and in the absence of such rules, it resolves the case based on the general principles and meaning of the law (law analogy) .4. If an international treaty of the Russian Federation establishes other rules than those stipulated by law, the court, when resolving a civil case, applies the rules of the international treaty. The court, in accordance with federal law or an international treaty of the Russian Federation, applies the norms of foreign law when resolving cases.

    • Lawyer's response:

      The sources of civil procedural law are regulatory legal acts (laws) adopted by the legislative bodies of the Russian Federation, and international treaties of the Russian Federation that establish, amend or cancel the rules governing the procedure for civil cases in federal courts of general jurisdiction and magistrates. Contrary to existing views about one type of source of civil procedural law, which is a normative legal act, along with normative legal acts, international treaties, separate sub-normative contractual rules and principles of justice can serve as sources of civil procedural law. In this regard, I propose to divide all sources of civil procedural law into two types: regulatory legal acts of the state and other sources of law. Other sources of law include international treaties and normative treaties that have a by-law character. A special place is occupied by the principles of justice applied by the court in the absence of a norm regulating similar procedural relations (part 5 of article 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the RSFSR). The conclusions are justified by the legislation and judicial practice. Neither custom nor judicial precedent are currently sources of civil procedural law.

    What are the implications for court decisions. By a resolution of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation dated April 4, 1996, paragraph 1 of the Procedure for Considering Issues of Registration (Residence) of Citizens Living Outside the City of Moscow and the Moscow Region Arriving for Residence in Moscow on a Living Space Belonging to them on the right of ownership, approved by Decree of the Government of Moscow of October 11, 1994 N 922. Citizen Kutsyllo V.I., on whose complaint the case was considered, applied to the Moscow Regional Court, which gave him registration on the basis of the said Decree of the Government of Moscow with a demand to reconsider the decision . The court refused him, referring to the fact that an act recognized as unconstitutional becomes invalid from the moment the decision of the Constitutional Court is proclaimed. Consequently, there are no procedural rules and grounds for reviewing a previously issued decision, and the court cannot consider the same case again, since this is prohibited by the Code of Civil Procedure. From what moment do acts declared unconstitutional lose their force? What are the consequences in relation to judicial decisions taken on the basis of an unconstitutional act, should they be reviewed and, if so, in what form?

    • Lawyer's response:

      According to Art. 79 of the Federal Law "On the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation" follows: 1. The decision of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, issued on the basis of the consideration of a case scheduled for hearing at a meeting of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, enters into force immediately after its announcement. Resolution of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, adopted in the manner prescribed by Art. 47.1 FKZ (Resolution of cases without a hearing), comes into force from the date of its publication in accordance with Art. 78 FKZ (Publication of the decision) . Other decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation shall enter into force from the date of their adoption. 2. Acts or their separate provisions, recognized as unconstitutional, lose their force; recognized as inconsistent with the Constitution of the Russian Federation and not entered into force international treaties of the Russian Federation are not subject to entry into force and application. Decisions of courts and other bodies based on acts or their separate provisions recognized as unconstitutional by a resolution of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation are not subject to execution and must be reviewed in cases established by federal law. 3. If by decision of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation a normative act is found not to comply with the Constitution of the Russian Federation in whole or in part, or if the decision of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation implies the need to eliminate a gap in legal regulation, government agency or an official who has adopted this normative act are considering the adoption of a new normative act, which should, in particular, contain provisions on the abolition of a normative act recognized as not fully compliant with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, or on making the necessary changes and (or) additions to the normative act , declared unconstitutional in a separate part of it. Before the adoption of a new normative act, the Constitution of the Russian Federation shall be directly applied.

    Who is the proper defendant in the lawsuit? Who is the proper defendant in a claim for damages resulting from the unlawful use of detention as a preventive measure? Links to NPA are welcome =)

    • Lawyer's response:

      By virtue of Part 1 of Article 1070 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, harm caused to a citizen as a result of unlawful conviction, unlawful prosecution, unlawful use of detention or undertaking not to leave as a preventive measure, unlawful bringing to administrative responsibility in the form of administrative arrest, as well as harm , caused to a legal entity as a result of unlawful bringing to administrative responsibility, is compensated at the expense of the treasury of the Russian Federation, and in cases provided for by law, at the expense of the treasury of the subject of the Russian Federation or the treasury of the municipality in full, regardless of the fault of officials of the bodies of inquiry, preliminary investigation, prosecutor's office and court in the manner prescribed by law. According to the clarifications of the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation (Review of legislation and judicial practice for the third quarter of 2004), based on the fact that federal courts and justices of the peace constitute a single judicial system of the Russian Federation, which is financed from the federal budget, the harm indicated in Part 1 Art. 1070 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, in the event that it was caused to a citizen by illegal actions of a justice of the peace, it is subject to compensation at the expense of the treasury of the Russian Federation. If the damage is caused by illegal actions of employees law enforcement, then it is necessary to look from what budget they are financed, as a rule from the regional one. Therefore, the defendant in the case of damages will be 1) this particular body; 2) the Ministry of Finance of the subject. In any case, according to Art. 41 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the court, when preparing a case or during its proceedings in a court of first instance, may allow, at the request or with the consent of the plaintiff, the replacement of an improper defendant with a proper one. That is, the court may, on its own initiative, with your consent, replace the defendant.

    Where, in what statutes, regulations, laws, codes are the official duties of the heads of the FKU IK ?. We have such a situation: we need a power of attorney (to conduct all his civil affairs while he is in prison: receiving mail, money, property, inheritance, etc.) from an uncle who is serving a term, they asked the head of PKU IK 21 to certify the power of attorney ... according to paragraph 3 of Art. 185 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation - notarized powers of attorney also include those certified by the head of the FKU IK. we were sent a refusal in writing - supposedly, the certification of powers of attorney is not part of the official duties of the heads of the FKU IK ... contact a notary .... Where, in what charters, regulations, laws, codes are the official duties of the heads of the FKU IK?

    • Lawyer's response:

      Complain to the head of the Department of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Rostov Region for the subject. For the first time I meet such a stupid excuse - the heads of the power of attorney always assured without any problems, only that this does not happen quickly - depending on which particular service prepares the power of attorney itself and takes away the signature from the principal, otherwise the head will drive off on a business trip, but so that they refuse - never. Who will let a notary go to a sensitive facility?!

    Commentary on Article 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation

    1. In Part 1 of Art. 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure are named legal acts containing the norms of the current substantive law, which the court of general jurisdiction must be guided by when resolving civil cases. The Constitution of the Russian Federation among the named acts has the highest legal force, direct effect and is applied throughout the country (part 1 of article 15 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation). All other laws and other normative acts are designed to supplement, develop and specify the constitutional norms and cannot contradict them.

    2. Normative acts are given in descending order of their legal force. International treaties take precedence over domestic Russian legislation, but this rule does not apply to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, since international treaties concluded by Russia cannot contradict it. If this suddenly happens, the norms of the Basic Law of the country will apply (see also the commentary to Article 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure).

    According to Part 4 of Art. 15 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation integral part of the legal system of Russia are not only its international treaties, but also generally recognized principles and norms international law. Explanations on the application of international norms are given in the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of October 10, 2003 N 5 "On the application by courts of general jurisdiction of generally recognized principles and norms of international law and international treaties of the Russian Federation" *.

    ________________
    * BVS RF. 2003. No. 12.

    When comparing the legal force of the above normative acts, it should also be taken into account that, in accordance with Art. 76 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, laws and other normative acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation cannot contradict federal laws only if they are adopted on the subjects of the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation or on the subjects of joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and its subjects. If the named normative acts are adopted on the subjects of jurisdiction of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, in the event of a conflict between them, not a federal law, but a law or other normative act of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation shall apply.

    3. The custom of business turnover may be applied by the court in resolving civil cases only in cases where the possibility of its application is provided for by law or other normative act. It is also referred to the sources of the current law in Article 5 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

    In paragraph 4 of the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation of July 1, 1996 N 6/8 "On some issues related to the application of part one of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation" it is explained that under the custom of business turnover, which, by virtue of Art. . 5 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation can be applied by the court when resolving a dispute arising from entrepreneurial activity, it should be understood that it is not provided for by law or an agreement, but has developed, i.e. a rule of conduct that is sufficiently defined in its content and widely used in any area of ​​business activity, for example, traditions for the fulfillment of certain obligations, etc. The business custom can be applied regardless of whether it is recorded in any document (published in the press, set out in a court decision that has entered into force in a specific case containing similar circumstances, etc.)*.

    ________________
    * BVS RF.1997.N 1.

    The possibility of regulating material legal relations by the custom of business turnover is provided for in many norms of civil law. For example, according to paragraph 2 of Art. 478 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, under a contract of sale, the seller is obliged to transfer to the buyer the goods that comply with the terms of the contract on completeness, and in the absence of such a contract, the completeness of the goods is determined by business customs or other usually imposed requirements.

    4. Of great importance for the correct resolution of civil cases are the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the decisions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, which are often adopted jointly with the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation on the most complex issues of judicial practice. In terms of their legal force and impact on social relations, they should rightfully be attributed to the sources of the law in force. The sources of law can also include acts of the highest judicial instances of the Russian Federation - the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation. AT recent times cases of adoption of joint decisions of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on the most controversial and topical issues jurisprudence with relevant explanations. However, these measures failed to completely solve the problem of differences in approaches to the administration of justice between arbitration courts and courts of general jurisdiction. The judicial reform carried out in the Russian Federation in early 2014 created a unified Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, which will become the highest judicial body for civil, criminal, administrative cases and the resolution of economic disputes.

    On February 6, 2014, the Law of the Russian Federation on the amendment to the Constitution of the Russian Federation dated November 27, 2013 "On the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation" came into force, according to which the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation is abolished, its powers are transferred to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. In development of the norms of this law, Federal Constitutional Law No. 3-FKZ of 05.02.2014 "On the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation", Federal Constitutional Law No. 4-FKZ of 05.02.2014 "On Amendments to the Federal Constitutional Law "On the Judicial System of the Russian Federation" were adopted "and the Federal Law of 05.02.2014 N 16-FZ "On the procedure for selecting candidates for the initial composition of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation".
    From the date of entry into force of the above-mentioned Law, a transitional period is established for a period of six months, during which the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation is abolished, and the issues of administration of justice referred to its jurisdiction are transferred to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation (Part 2 of Article 2 of the Law of the Russian Federation on amendment to the Constitution of the Russian Federation of November 27, 2013 "On the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation").

    Judges of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation, appointed before the date of entry into force of the Law of the Russian Federation on the amendment to the Constitution of the Russian Federation dated November 27, 2013 "On the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation" continue to exercise their powers until the start of the work of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation (Part 3 of Article 2 of the Law of the Russian Federation on the amendment to the Constitution of the Russian Federation of November 27, 2013 "On the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation").

    The binding nature of the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation for all law enforcers is enshrined in Part 5 of Art. 125 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, art. 6, 79, 87, 100 of the Federal Constitutional Law of July 21, 1994 (with subsequent amendments and additions) "On the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation"*. The obligatory nature of the decisions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation for the courts follows from their duty to obey the Constitution of the Russian Federation and federal law in the administration of justice, as well as from the constitutional powers of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation to exercise judicial supervision over the activities of lower courts in the appropriate procedural form and to give explanations on the application of the rules of law. in judicial practice (Articles 120, 126 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation).

    ________________

    5. The absence of a rule of law governing disputable relations cannot lead to the refusal of the court to resolve the dispute, since this would distort the very essence of justice, conflict with its constitutional goals and the right of everyone to judicial protection (Articles 18, 46 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation). The gap in the legal regulation of disputed material relations in resolving a civil case, the court must overcome with the help of an analogy of law or law. The procedure for filling gaps in the legislation is also provided for in the branches of substantive law that regulate relations, the dispute over which is subject to resolution in civil proceedings (see, for example, Article 6 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, Article 5 of the IC of the Russian Federation).

    The absence of a special rule governing specific relations between the parties to the dispute does not in itself give grounds for concluding that there is a gap in the legislation, since most often there is a general rule governing a certain type of legal relationship. For example, if a dispute on rights and obligations arising from the actions of the parties not provided for by law or other legal act (Article 6 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation) is referred to the court for resolution, the court must proceed from the relevant norms of civil law on obligations (Section III of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation) and only in their absence is it entitled to turn to the analogy of law or law.

    6. When considering and resolving a civil case, the court, in the cases specified in the federal law or provided for by an international treaty of the Russian Federation, is obliged to apply the norms of the substantive law of other states. This problem has acquired particular urgency in connection with the formation on the territory of the once united country (USSR) of fifteen independent states, as well as with the acquisition by Russian citizens of a real right to freely leave the country and return to it without hindrance, with the activation of multilateral ties between Russian physical and legal entities with citizens and organizations of other states.

    This provision is also taken into account in the preparation and adoption of new codes in the material branches of law. For example, detailed rules on the application by courts of the norms of the legislation of other states in resolving civil disputes are provided for in Section VI, Part 3 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, in resolving family disputes - in Art. 156 - 167 RF IC.

    The issues of applying the rules of law of other states by Russian courts are also resolved in detail in the multilateral and bilateral international treaties of the Russian Federation on legal assistance. An example is the Minsk Convention of the CIS countries of January 22, 1993 "On legal assistance and legal relations in civil, family and criminal cases"*.

    Commentary on Article 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation in the current wording

    When reading Article 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation in the current edition attention should be paid to the order in which normative legal acts are listed. It is in part 1 of the commented article 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation that a peculiar hierarchy of regulatory legal acts is given from the greatest strength the Constitution of the Russian Federation to the normative legal acts of local governments.

    The Constitution of the Russian Federation has the highest legal force, all other normative acts should not contradict its provisions in the first place. If during the trial the court establishes that some legal act contradicts the Constitution of the Russian Federation, then the Constitution of the Russian Federation is applied when resolving the case. That is why the Constitution of the Russian Federation is a legal act of direct action. The court will do the same if a legal act of lesser force contradicts the provisions of a normative legal act of greater legal force.

    Article 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation in the current wording has developed the possibility of applying the analogy of law and the analogy of the law in the consideration and resolution of civil cases. It is necessary to understand these legal concepts in more detail.

    In civil law, the analogy of the law is the application of the law governing similar legal relations, in the absence of a direct rule governing disputed relations. There are three main conditions for applying the analogy of the law:

    • the analogy of the law is applied in the implementation of the principle of legality;
    • the analogy of the law is applied when legal relations are not regulated by law or by agreement of the parties and there is no corresponding business practice;
    • the analogy of the law is used in cases where the application of one special law regulating the disputed legal relationship is not enough to protect the violated right.

    The analogy of law is the application of the general principles and meaning of legislation, when there are no legal norms that can be applied by analogy with the law. In civil proceedings, if it is necessary to apply the analogy, law can be used as general norms of procedural legislation enshrined in Chapter 1 of the Code (for example, when deciding on an open or closed court session or when deciding on the language used in a court session).

    It should be noted that cases of applying the analogy of the law, and even more so the analogy of law in civil proceedings are quite rare. They mainly concern the use of analogy by judges in resolving procedural conflicts. Thus, in the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, a clear regulation of the actions of the court and participants in the process when resolving petitions, when considering issues in the course of the execution of a court decision, did not find its place. In such cases, the courts apply, by analogy, the norms of the Code governing the acceptance of statements of claim and the consideration of civil cases in a lawsuit.

    Additional commentary to Art. 11 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation

    The court of general jurisdiction is obliged to resolve disputes on the basis of regulatory legal acts, listed in detail in Art. 11 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation. Each normative legal act must be adopted by the competent authority and in the manner prescribed by law.

    The normative legal acts specified in part 1 of the commented article 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation in the current version are listed in a strictly defined order, which is predetermined by the place of each of them in the hierarchical system of Russian legislation. Acts that occupy a lower place in this system must correspond to all others that occupy a higher "step" in it.

    In the first place is the Constitution of the Russian Federation - a normative act that has the highest legal force and direct effect. All laws and other normative acts adopted in the Russian Federation must not contradict the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

    On the subjects of the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation, federal constitutional laws and federal laws are adopted that have direct effect on the entire territory of the Russian Federation. Federal laws cannot contradict federal constitutional laws. Federal laws and laws and other normative acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation adopted in accordance with them shall be issued on subjects of joint jurisdiction between the Russian Federation and the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

    Outside the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation, joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and subjects of the Russian Federation of the republic, territory, region, city of federal significance, Autonomous region and autonomous okrugs exercise their own legal regulation, including the adoption of laws and other regulations. Laws and other normative acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation may not contradict federal laws adopted on the subjects of the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and on the subjects of joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

    Decrees of the President of the Russian Federation regulating civil and other relations must not contradict federal laws regulating these relations.

    Decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation are adopted by him on the basis of and in pursuance of federal laws, decrees of the President of the Russian Federation.

    Laws and other legal acts applied in the Russian Federation must not contradict the Constitution of the Russian Federation (Article 15 of the Constitution). If a law or other legal act conflicts with the Constitution, the court must make a decision in accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation. In the event of a conflict between a decree of the President of the Russian Federation or a resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation and a federal law, the relevant law shall apply.

    When considering cases, courts should take into account that if a law to be applied or another regulatory legal act of a subject of the Russian Federation contradicts a federal law adopted on issues within the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation or jointly administered by the Russian Federation and the subject of the Russian Federation, then, based on the provisions of part 5 tbsp. 76 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the court must decide in accordance with federal law.

    If there are contradictions between the normative legal act of the subject of the Russian Federation, adopted on issues related to the jurisdiction of the subject of the Russian Federation, and the federal law, then by virtue of Part 6 of Art. 76 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, a normative legal act of a subject of the Russian Federation is subject to application.

    When considering and resolving a dispute, the court may come to the conclusion that the law applied or to be applied in this case is contrary to the Constitution of the Russian Federation. In this case, the court applies to the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation with a request to verify the constitutionality of this law. The request is admissible if the law is applied or subject, in the opinion of the court, to application in the specific case considered by it.

    On the need to apply with a request to the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the court shall issue a reasoned ruling (decree). The request itself is made in writing in the form of a separate document.

    In a request to verify the constitutionality of the law applied or to be applied when considering a particular case, the court, in accordance with the requirements of Art. 37 of the Federal Constitutional Law "On the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation" must indicate the exact name, number, date of adoption, source of publication and other data on the legislative act subject to verification, as well as the reasons for which he came to the conclusion about sending the specified request. By virtue of Art. 38 of the named Federal constitutional law, the request must be accompanied by the text of the law to be verified, and a translation into Russian of all documents and other materials presented in another language.

    In connection with the appeal to the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation with a request to verify the constitutionality of the law applied or to be applied, the proceedings in the case or the execution of the decision, based on the requirements of Art. 103 of the Federal Constitutional Law “On the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation”, is suspended until the request is resolved by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, which should be indicated in the above ruling (decree) of the court (paragraph 3).

    Of great importance for the correct application of the law in resolving specific cases are the clarifications of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

    The current legislation establishes the priority of the norms established by an international treaty of the Russian Federation over domestic legislation.

    In part 3 of Art. 11 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation we are talking about the application by the court of law and law by analogy. The court can resort to the analogy of the law only if there is no rule of law regulating the disputed legal relationship, and to the analogy of law - when there are no rules regulating the disputed relationship, as well as rules regulating relations similar to them. With the analogy of law, the court proceeds from the general principles and meaning of laws.

    The application of law and law by analogy must be motivated in the court decision.

    When resolving a specific dispute, the court may apply the rules of law of other states only if this is provided for by law or an international treaty of the Russian Federation.

    Judicial practice under Art. 11 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation
