Dvortsov V.E. Administrative responsibility of a cadastral engineer: the correlation of legislation and judicial practice

Abstract: The research object is the phenomenon of administrative responsibility of a cadastral engineer for plotting of the knowingly false information on a delimitation or technical plan, or its inclusion in the inspection report, land delimitation project or a survey map, or for the forgery of records, which these documents are based on, on condition that these actions don’t contain a criminal offence. This phenomenon is rather disputable in legal science and practice. The research subject is administrative responsibility of a cadastral engineer for the abovementioned deeds and the judicial practice of its implementation. The research methodology is based on the analytical, comparative and system methods of scientific cognition. The study is based on the fundamental statutory acts of contemporary Russia and judicial practice. This research is the first and the only complex study of the responsibility of a cadastral engineer, considering the recent changes of administrative legislation and judicial practice. The topicality of the problem is determined by the fact that the lawsuits against the offences of a cadastral engineer face difficulties in the judicial practice due to the blanket character of the part 4, article 14.45. of the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation, providing administrative responsibility for such actions. The author assesses the effectiveness of the established administrative responsibility of cadastral engineers, analyzes the mistakes of its enforcement and offers the ways to manage the situation.
