The article is devoted to the study of the problems of legal regulation of jurisdiction and jurisdiction of cases of administrative offenses in the light of the forthcoming reform of administrative tort legislation. The author shows how the issues of optimizing jurisdiction and jurisdiction in such cases are related to solving the problem of ineffectiveness in the administration of justice in the sphere of administrative-tort relations and restoring the systemic character of legislative regulation of administrative responsibility, establishing clear criteria for the distribution of cases of administrative offenses between judicial and non-judicial bodies, with one hand, and within individual links of the judicial system — on the other. Particular attention is paid to substantiating the need to establish a predominantly out-of-court procedure for considering cases of administrative offenses. At the same time, it is emphasized that the optimization of the administrative and jurisdictional activities of the courts should be associated with such factors as the social significance and direction of the unlawful act, as well as the severity of administrative punishment. In this regard, the appointment of administrative punishments in the form of a warning, deprivation of special rights and administrative expulsion in the form of an independent departure from the Russian Federation is proposed to be attributed to the exclusive competence of the executive authorities.With regard to an administrative fine, the author concludes that only in cases where the size of the fine is comparable to a more severe administrative penalty or the amount of increased fines established for crimes in similar areas of activity, its imposition should be attributed to the exclusive competence of the court.In certain cases, it is also proposed to introduce a simplified procedure for considering cases in the courts on the imposition of an administrative fine.
