CONCEPTUAL REFERENCES REGARDING RECODIFICATION AND DECODIFICATION AS FORMS OF THE SYSTEMATIZATION OF LEGISLATION

Abstract

This paper analyzes the concepts of recodification and decodification, both from the perspective of legislative technique and systematization of legislation. Being seen as codification modalities or as reverse actions, these two phenomena are approached from the perspective of the activity of legislative creation. This study is the first of its kind, or being new concepts for Eastern European doctrine, decodification and recodification have not yet benefited from in-depth research in our legal literature, so in this article the authors analyze the considerations of Russian and European scientists, who have been the basis for promoting these new terms for local legal science. Practical examples of recodification and decodification include normative acts of the Republic of Moldova. The authors conclude that despite the difference in codification, decodification and recodification tasks, these legal phenomena are characterized by a certain degree of interconnection and ultimately provide their own definition of recodification, adjusted to the national regulatory framework.
