Initiation of Administrative Penalty Proceedings

Abstract

The study examines the individual components of the procedure for initiating administrative penalty proceedings. These elements are the proceedings for establishing administrative violations; participants, subjects, and parties to the proceedings; the course of the proceedings; the content and characteristics of the act establishing an administrative violation; the prohibition on initiating administrative penalty proceedings; and special rules for initiating administrative penalty proceedings. The publication provides a theoretical definition of the proceedings as the first, administrative, and necessary phase of the administrative penalty process, representing a set of legal actions regulated by the provisions of the Administrative Violations and Penalties Act, aimed at initiating administrative penalty proceedings by drawing up an administrative violation report, which triggers the administrative penalty imposed by the state on the offender for the unlawful act committed.
