DIRECTIONS OF DEVELOPMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE DELICT LAW IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the current state and prospects for the development of administrative tort law in Ukraine in the context of reforming the legal system, European integration and digital transformation. Administrative tort law is defined as a set of norms regulating social relations related to the implementation of administrative liability for offenses, provided for by the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses (CUaP) and other acts. The paper considers theoretical developments in this sub-branch of law, in particular the concept of an administrative offense (V. V. Reshota), the functional approach (O. Yu. Salmanova), the issue of codification (M. M. Sorochyshyn) and European influence (Yu. A. Tikhomyrov).The state of study of the problem by Ukrainian scientists, such as O. V. Panasyuk, O. Yu. Salmanova, M. M. Sorochyshyn, V. V. Reshota, and foreign authors, is investigated. Key problems in the application of administrative norms were identified: the obsolescence of the Code of Administrative Offenses, contradictions with other laws, the vagueness of subjects of responsibility, the low efficiency of penalties, procedural difficulties and the impact of martial law. The problems of the application of administrative liability were separately analyzed, in particular, the vagueness of the criteria for bringing charges, insufficient differentiation of sanctions, limited legal protection, low qualifications of officials and violation of the deadlines for considering cases during the war period. The conclusions emphasize that theoretical developments are ahead of practical implementation, and modern challenges require comprehensive reform. The modernization of the Code of Administrative Offenses taking into account digital offenses, harmonization with EU norms, the introduction of an electronic system for recording cases, the revision of sanctions, the improvement of the qualifications of officials, simplification of appeals, adaptation to martial law and the activation of scientific and practical cooperation are proposed. The article emphasizes the importance of administrative tort law for law and order and the need for its adaptation to modern conditions.
