Systematization of normative legal acts

Different bodies at different times in different spatial limits, adopt normative acts. The objectives of their adoption are also different. This situation can not but affect the nature of existing subordinate regulations, as well as laws themselves, which in some cases come into conflict with each other. In this regard, before beginning the ordering of public relations, it is necessary to put in order all the documents that are accepted. To this end, the systematization of normative legal acts is carried out - ordering, bringing the documents into a definite order (system).

Structuring is necessary to ensure the accessibility of the legislative framework, the convenience of its application. The systematization of normative legal acts allows eliminating inefficient and outdated provisions. The ordering of the provisions facilitates the resolution of legal disputes, eliminates gaps.

There are different types of systematization of normative legal acts:

1. Incorporation. This form provides for the consolidation of provisions in the collection without modifying their content. At the same time, each act retains its independent legal significance. Incorporation can be carried out in accordance with the chronological (taking into account the time of adoption of provisions), thematic (subject to the topic) and other principles. This systematization of normative legal acts is considered to be the simplest. The incorporation is divided into unofficial and official. The latter should include the Legislative Assembly. Unofficial incorporation includes collections of regulations on legal branches that are published for educational purposes. Such materials can not be invoked, for example, in court proceedings .
2. Consolidation. The systematization of normative legal acts in this form implies the unification of several provisions without changing their content into one act. In this case, each of the provisions loses its independent meaning in the legal sense. In this case, the systematization of normative legal acts is carried out taking into account the relevance of documents to one type of activity (for example, education, health care and others). Consolidation is considered the most compromising form of structuring. It combines the signs of incorporation and codification. This form of systematization is used as an intermediate stage.
3. Codification. This form provides for the consolidation of provisions with the introduction of changes into their contents into a logically integral, single document. Codification can eliminate obsolete material and contradictions in the regulations. Together with this, a new order of behavior is formed, the logic of the rules is ensured, and their consistency is formed. In this regard, codification is considered the most time-consuming and complex way of systematization. This form of ordering can be universal. In this case, a significant part of the legislative base is processed. The codification may be sectoral. In this case, the provisions belonging to a particular industry are processed. This form of systematization can be special. In this case, work is carried out with provisions pertaining to an institution.

Codification provides for the processing of acts in accordance with their content in a well-founded, systematized statement in a new code, law, code of provisions and so on. The ordering of the adopted legal provisions on this form can be carried out only by special bodies. As a result of codification, a new code, code or normative act always arises. One of the main features of this form of ordering is the fact that the new, codified law is the main one among others acting in this field.
