THE ROLE OF RESOLUTIONS OF THE PLENUM OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN REGULATING LABOR RELATIONS

Abstract

The author of this research aims, through this research, to create a theoretical understanding of the role
of Resolutions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation (SCRF) in the regulation of
labor relations and others directly associated with them, as well as the possibility of their classification
as a source of labor law. By researching these acts’ significance in labor law both in Russia and other
countries a conclusion is drawn that currently the acts of supreme judicial authorities may be classified
as sources of labor law, since they influence on the emergence, changing and termination of legal labor
relations and have an objectified form of expression. However, the aforementioned acts are issued by
judicial authorities, not law-making authorities, and a failure to comply with the rules of conduct that
they create cause consequences not only for the courts, but for other subjects as well. Considering the
latest trends in the formulation of rules of conduct by supreme judicial authorities and their perception
by legislators via their reflection in regulatory acts, the significance of supreme judicial authorities’ acts
is to serve as a basis for the development of typical sources of labor law, specifically labor law acts.
