Abstract: In order to study the financial system of Russia and the system of financial law one needs to use systemic approach, since one needs not only to study certain objects and events, but also to establish their relations with other facts. In this article the author uses systemic approach and comes to a conclusion that in financial law in order to make a decision one needs to consider all of the existing relations and their influence on the system as a whole and not just some of its parts. In other works, when dealing with this or that issue, one has to evaluate how this decision may influence the system of financial law as a whole. In this article the author tries to evaluate from the theoretical standpoint a number of complex multi-aspect reflections of systematicity of financial law, and at the same time to introduce some interesting practical material, which allows to note its practical value for the improvement of financial legislation as a whole.

Abstract: The functioning of constitutional justice in Slovenia has truly started in 1991, when the constitutional form of government was established. During the short period of time the Court has managed to establish itself as constitutional justice body, and its goals and activities are in accordance with the requirements to the constitutional control bodies in the states with the European model of centralized control. The Slovenian Constitutional provides for the autonomy and independence of the Constitutional Court, which fulfills two important functions, which are necessary in any democratic society, that is, it supervises the constitutionality and lawfulness in the state and it guarantees the constitutional rights and freedoms of people and citizens. At the same time, the Constitution provides for an open list of powers of the Constitutional Court, which may be broadened by law.

Abstract: The article includes analysis of the balance between the economic rights of employers and social labor rights of workers (employees) in their comparative legal aspects. The author also compares these issues in the Russian legal system and the system in the EU states. Then he formulates the conclusions that if compared with the EU legislation, the Russian legislation is much less balanced and it seems to support the rights of employers at the cost of rights and lawful interests of the employees. The author then shows the parameters by which the Russian legislation may be cardinally improved in order to achieve the optimum balance of the interests of the parties. Considering the current discussion among the experts on the possibility of application of the German industrial council system in Russia, the author analyzes its key features and formulates the conditions under which some of elements of this system may be used. The author points out that it is not acceptable to lower the role of the trade unions and that it is necessary to guarantee the independence of the representative bodies of workers from the pressure by employers.

Abstract: The article establishes the correlation between the acts on education at the federal level and at the level of the constituent subjects of the Russian Federation. The authors came to a conclusion that the legal collision (conflict of laws) in the sphere of education should be understood as formal contradictions (differences) between two or more legal matters within the objective law, which are based on objective and subjective factors. Having studied the normative legal acts of the constituent subjects of the Russian Federation on education, the authors established the main causes for the collisions, namely — objective and subjective ones, and provided their detailed analysis. The duplication of provisions of federal laws in the legislation of constituent subjects may be regarded as the main reason for such collisions. The authors analyzed the provisions of laws on constituent subjects on education and provided the examples of collisions in this article. As a result of their studies, the authors offer the ways to resolve the conflicts of laws in the legislation of constituent subjects of the Russian Federation, such as norm-making, issuing the conflict-of-laws norms, interpretation, cancellation, judicial review and negotiations.

Abstract: The author of this article offers an original approach to the topical problems of correlation of civil and arbitration process and establishing their statuses within the legal and legislative systems. The approach includes finding solution in application to each of their particular aspects, such as judicial system, judicial procedure, theoretical legal aspect and systemic legislative aspect. It allows to find the objective prerequisites for the differentiation of civil jurisdiction based on judicial system and procedure, and to establish the independence of the arbitration court procedural form, as well as the lack of necessity to merge arbitration courts and the courts of general jurisdiction and their procedural codes. The author characterizes a number of procedural institutions, such as return of claim, refusal to accept the claim, transfer of the case to another court, within the context of accessibility of justice principle and criteria for its violations. Having analyzed the legal nature of subject-matter jurisdiction of civil cases (between judicial and non-judicial civil jurisdiction bodies), the author came to a conclusion that it is necessary to recognize is as a general term towards the distinction between judicial and arbitration court jurisdiction within the same civil judicial procedure. The author establishes the need to introduce the legislative provisions, which would recognize the differences between the violations of general subject-matter jurisdiction and the violation of jurisdiction between arbitration courts and court of general jurisdiction, and it would allow the court (the arbitration court) to simply transfer the case to the competent court, and to provide for the same rule for any violation of due jurisdiction at any stage of judicial procedure. The appendix to the article includes some proposals for the amendments into the Civil Procedural Code of the Russian Federation and the Arbitration Procedural Code of the Russian Federation.

Keywords: access to justice, differentiation of civil process, judicial and arbitration subject-matter jurisdiction, the “one-stop” principle.
