THE ESSENCE AND LEGAL NATURE OF JUDICIAL ACTS
The development of modern legislation in the direction of humanization and the reduction of the repressive nature of criminal sanctions has led to the fact that rules of law are constantly subjected to significant change, often part of the text suffers because of the brevity of the wording, the lack of specificity and not informative. All this is the basis for the establishment of a subsidiary, explaining the nature of the norms whose practical application on the one hand allows to reduce jurisprudence to a common denominator, on the other creates problems of possibility and expediency of their actions retroactively. So, for example, so far, neither the legislator nor the enforcers can't answer the question of whether the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation source of law or not? It seems that the problem is due to the instability not only of the criminal legislation and practice of its application, but also the related decisions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, which contain in their text part of the provisions the application of which may both improve and worsen the position of the person who committed the crime.
