The article analyzes and determines the place of judicial precedent in the system of sources of Ukrainian law. The relationship between judicial precedent and case law is analyzed. It was found that the precedent gives the court decision on a particular case of a normative nature, determining the legal position of the judge is mandatory when considering similar cases. It is proved that this feature distinguishes precedent from judicial practice, which is understood as a set of court decisions on specific legal issues. It is determined that the principle of unity of judicial practice is not absolute, as the Supreme Court is endowed with procedural legislation in the prescribed manner to deviate from the previously formed legal position. The establishment of any restrictions will have a negative impact on the development of procedural law and judicial practice, will exclude the possibility of progressive development of law and social relations. The activity of the Supreme Court as the highest body of the judiciary with the functions of ensuring the uniform application of legislation and ensuring the unity of judicial practice, the acts of which are of paramount importance, is analyzed. It has been proved that the introduction of the “exemplary case” and “typical case” institutes is a step towards the recognition of judicial precedent in Ukraine and the unification in the legal system of our state of features and peculiarities of both legal families, Anglo-Saxon and Romano-Germanic. The position of scholars who refer the decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine to “quasi-precedents” is supported. It is noted that European Court of Human Rights judgments are used as precedents for Ukrainian courts to apply in their own cases. It is concluded that given the positive impact of precedent on court cases, as well as in general on the regulation of public relations and overcoming gaps in the legislation, it is necessary to implement it at the legislative level as an official source of law.

The article discusses the forms of clarification on matters of judicial practice by the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Presidium of the Supreme Court, as well as in the Review of judicial practice on some issues of the application of legislation on business companies dated December 25, 2019. Clarifications of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on issues of judicial practice are characterized as the positions of the courts identified in the course of studying and summarizing the judicial practice of the corresponding category of cases, which are acts of individual regulation of public relations. Focusing on Art. 6 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and Section 6, Art. 12 of the APC RF shows the validity of dividing wrong into two types of wrong: the «moderate» type of «judicial law-making and the position of the court» and the «radical» type of «judicial law-making», when the court develops the rule of law, which contradicts the constitutional principle of separation of powers. When resolving corporate disputes, it is necessary to investigate whether the charter of a non-public company does not contain the rights and obligations of its participants, which they themselves created by making a unanimous decision and including them in the charter of the company (paragraph 3 of Art. 66.3 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, paragraph 3 of Art. 14 of the Law about LLC).

The present study is devoted to determining the place and role of legal positions of higher judicial bodies of Russia (judicial legal positions) in the mechanism of legal regulation. Let us specify in advance that the author means the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation (taking into account the 2014 amendments made to the legislation concerning the liquidation of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation) as the higher judicial bodies of Russia. Establishing the meaning and role of judicial legal positions in the mechanism of legal regulation is carried out by the author of this study through the analysis and demonstration of the main sources of formation of legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation. In this regard, the author of this work identifies as sources of formation of judicial legal positions: legal and non-legal. Non-legal sources of formation of legal positions of the highest courts of Russia differ from the legal ones in the fact that initially they do not have material expression, exist in the abstract, however, have no less importance for the process of formation of judicial legal positions. To the legal sources of creating legal positions of the highest judicial bodies of Russia the author includes: formal sources of law, current legal practice, legal doctrine. As non-legal sources of formation of legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation are: the inner conviction of a judge and professional legal consciousness of a judge. The author of this scientific research consistently reveals the importance and role of each source of formation of judicial legal positions. The conducted study of the most significant sources of formation of judicial legal positions allowed to better understand the place of legal positions of higher courts of Russia in the legal system and their role in legal regulation, which is reduced not just to the interpretation of judicial acts, but also to the formation of new legal provisions, which ultimately form a uniform judicial practice. Methodological basis of the study consisted of: analysis, synthesis, comparative-legal method, deduction, induction and other ways of knowledge used in science. Scientific conclusions and proposals contained in this work may serve as a basis for further theoretical study of the problems of judicial legal positions and used in the activities of legislative and law enforcement bodies.

The article reveals the features of the constitutional and legal status of the Supreme Court as a court of law in Ukraine. It has been established that the constitutional and legal status of the Supreme Court is regulated by the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine «On the Judicial System and the Status of Judges» and the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine. Analysis of the legislation allows us to note that the Supreme Court is the highest court in the judicial system in Ukraine. The composition of the Supreme Court is formed by the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court, the Administrative Cassation Court, the Criminal Cassation Court and the Civil Cassation Court. It has been established that the President of the Supreme Court is elected to office, and also dismissed from office based on the results of a secret ballot held by the Plenum of the Supreme Court. The constitutional and legal status of the Supreme Court makes it possible to single out such basic functions of the Supreme Court as: the function of administering justice, during which the Supreme Court acts as a court of cassation; the function of analyzing judicial statistics, as well as summarizing judicial practice; the function of providing conclusions on draft legislative acts directly related to the judicial system; the function of providing an opinion on the presence or absence of signs of committing high treason or other crime in the acts for which charges are brought against the President of Ukraine, for committing high treason or other crime; the function of providing appellate and local courts with proper methodological information on law enforcement issues, etc. It has been determined that the professional activity of the Supreme Court contributes to ensuring the observance of the principle of equality of all before the law and requires ensuring at the same time the achievement of the unity of judicial practice. It is noted that the prospects for further research in this direction are the study of the legal status of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine as a body of constitutional jurisdiction, the main function of which is to ensure the supremacy of the Constitution of Ukraine.

The judicial investigative practice of criminal cases of embezzlement committed using bank cards and other types of electronic payments has encountered problems with the qualification of such acts. The author identifies the most common enforcement problemsand their causesby a retrospective study of judicial practice, the changing norms of the criminal law. At the same time, a ten-year period of work of the judicial investigating authorities was studied. On the basis of traditional general scientific methods of cognition, as a result of a system-legal analysis of the considered set of specific situations, the author gives an author's view of the complex of causes that cause a lack of uniformity in judicial investigative practice. Using the hermeneutic approach, the author paid special attention to the application by the courts of the interpretation of the criminal law by the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in different years. In conclusion, ways of resolving contentious issues of qualification of thefts and fraud in the field of electronic means of payment are proposed.
