ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CONCEPTS OF "DISCRETION" AND "DISPOSITION" IN LAW
One of the debatable issues in Russian jurisprudence is the problem of discretion in law. Discretion is a theoretical category that reflects a complex and multistage process, as a result of which the subject of law comes to a certain conclusion. What features does this concept have? What are the features of the correlation of discretion in law with related concepts? These issues in the theory of state and law are not fully resolved. The author compares the scope of the concepts of «discretion» and «discretion in law», examines the logical connections between the content of the concepts. It is concluded that these concepts are comparable, compatible, in subordination relations. At the same time, the content of the concepts of «discretion» and «dispositivity» is clarified from the point of view of their doctrinal understanding. It seems relevant from a scientific and practical point of view to develop a theoretical concept of discretion in law.
