Code of Civil Procedure: Scope

Laws govern our lives in many ways. It is vital to strive to understand them. But where to start? Indeed, normative acts that are mandatory for implementation are not only a large number, but they can be attributed to various types of legal documents. For example, the Constitution has the greatest force among all their diversity. There is a hierarchy of power for various types of legal documents. At its very top, of course, is the Constitution of Russia. Then (descending) are followed by federal constitutional laws. Next come federal laws (including codes).

Codes have great legal force and constitute one of the main parts of the law. Each of them regulates a specific field of activity. There are twenty different codes in Russian law.

They may consider cases in which an individual disputes a normative act adopted by a state body in accordance with established rules. In some cases, business-related activities may be challenged here. True, in this area, some judicial issues are required to be considered only in the arbitration court.
