Features of Proceedings in Cases of Administrative Offenses in the context of Implementation of the Principle of Equality in Bringing to Administrative Responsibility

The paper explains the essence of the principle of equality and defines its concept. On the basis of the provisions of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, the content of the principle is examined and expressed in the requirements of substantive and procedural nature. The author highlights three groups of regulatory exceptions, indicating that the implementation of the principle of equality in proceedings on administrative offenses is not absolute. Firstly, the rules that apply to a number of entities that have full immunity from administrative coercion and administrative responsibility. The second group consists of rules providing for special procedures that complement the ordinary rules of proceedings in cases of administrative offenses. The third group includes exceptions from the general rules of application of the substantive rules of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation regulating the application of administrative penalties and administrative responsibility. Inconsistencies between the legislation on administrative offenses and provisions of federal laws, subordinate regulatory legal acts that establish special conditions of production in relation to certain categories of subjects allowed the author to make recommendations for improving the current legislation.
