THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HIERARCHY OF LEGAL ACTS FOR CONFLICT LAW ENFORCEMENT

Abstract

Modern practical jurisprudence is faced with many difficulties caused by the inconsistency of the currentlegislation. The resolution of conflicts of norms of different legal force, collisions of general and specialnorms, temporal (temporary) collisions is an integral part of the law enforcer’s activity. This problem isespecially relevant in terms of the collision of legal norms of different legal force. A hierarchically arrangedlegal system presupposes internal coordination of legal acts. The classical principle of resolving conflictsbetween normative legal acts of different legal force is the rule on the priority of a norm of greater legal force.However, the external simplicity of this rule is complicated in relation to Russia by the lack of a legal systemof legal acts, as well as the principle of federalism. This hierarchy is formulated by the efforts of theoreticalscience. The article also discusses the problematic aspects of using the hierarchy of legal acts in the eventof their collision.
