CRIMINAL-LAW DOCTRINE AND CASE LAW: A COMPLEMENTARY RELATIONSHIP

 

 

The article analyzes the concept of criminal-legal doctrine proposed by researchers of this problem, as well as formulates the actual definition of criminal-law doctrine in view of the purpose of a scientific article. Also, a fragmentary historical review of the use of legal doctrine has been made, from the time of the Roman Empire to the modern times of Great Britain.

The paper analyzes the approaches of scientists to determine the concept of judicial practice. Based on the analysis of historical experience, the author comes to the conclusion that the legal doctrine is applied in judicial practice, regardless of the legal system of a country, as well as the justification of the use of legal doctrine in judicial practice.

The author believes that the question of the justification of the necessity of using the criminal-law doctrine in judicial practice is in the plane of proper and additional motivation of a court decision in criminal proceedings, its fairness and comprehensiveness for the parties to such proceedings.

The grounds for using the criminal-law doctrine in the judicial practice are formulated taking into account the analysis of the current criminal legislation of Ukraine.

In addition, the ways of using the criminal-law doctrine in judicial practice are proposed.

According to the results of the study and its purpose, the author believes that the formulation of the content of the outlined problem and suggestions on the ways of its solution, can immediately and significantly affect the judicial practice, but rely on the actualization of professional discussion, as well as the spread of the use of criminal legal doctrine in court decisions , which will undoubtedly reinforce their argumentation, will contribute to the deepening of the complementary relationships of science and practice.

Key words: criminal law doctrine; arbitrage practice; the grounds for the use of criminal law doctrine in judicial practice.
