Criminal liability and the tort liability under administrative law

Abstract

The article provides critical analysis of contemporary Ukrainian approaches to defining “criminal liability” and “tort liability under administrative law” as well as the approaches to defining the difference between the two liability types. The author’s idea is that the latter term should not be substituted by administrative liability in its “managerial” sense, being a liability of renewable type. The tort liability under administrative law does not belong to purely administrative type in managerial sense. It has penal features thus coming closely to criminal liability. These penal features create the essence of criminal liability. Nevertheless, the inclusion of the article on legal liability in the statute with a certain name (e.g. The Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offences), its procedural form and the name of the offence triggering the liability do not necessarily correspond with the essence of legal liability. The article also stipulates the conclusion that the essential equality of criminal offences and administrative offences, as well as of the criminal liability and tort liability under administrative law, and the wide acceptance of this approach within national legal system will provide a positive effect, specifically in: 1) further development of Criminal law and the Tort Administrative Law as a united legal area triggering its systematization, unification, elimination of legal gaps, conflict of norms, unreasonable competition between the norms etc.; 2) further exercise of legal certainty principle together with other components of the rule of law; 3) the appropriate securing of the rights of aggrieved persons as well as of the rights of offenders according to the criminal procedure standards; 4) logical and full classification of criminal offences and just differentiation of liability; 5) possibility to build up the procedural form considering the well classified system of criminal offences; 6) valid designation of the range of criminal offences triggering administrative liability with the possibility to challenge the issue in the court.
