    Good afternoon. The roof of the stoke shed caught fire. The reason is unknown. We put out the fire ourselves before the rescuers arrived. Neighbors called the firefighters. We didn't call! Firefighters inspected the fire scene and left. Within half an hour, a fire safety inspector arrived, inspected the fire site and said that he would need to come to the investigator. The owner of the house is disabled and cannot speak. What is the right thing to do now? Nobody signed any papers.

The application is submitted to the court under the jurisdiction established by Articles 24 - 27 of this Code. An application may be submitted by a citizen to the court at the place of his residence or at the location of the state authority, local government body, official, state or municipal employee, the decision, action (inaction) of which is being disputed. Decisions, actions (inaction) of state authorities, local governments, officials, state or municipal employees, subject to challenge in accordance with the procedure civil proceedings Decisions, actions (inaction) of state authorities, local government bodies, officials, state or municipal employees, contested in civil proceedings include collegial and individual decisions and actions (inaction), as a result of which: the rights and freedoms of a citizen are violated; obstacles have been created to the citizen’s exercise of his rights and freedoms; a citizen has been unlawfully assigned any duty or has been unlawfully held accountable.

    Can a fire inspector issue a fine without a previously issued order and warning? During the inspection, a report was issued on administrative violation and an order: the evacuation plan was carried out in violation of GOST 12.2.143-2009 (not using luminescent paint); connections to distribution boxes are made for twisting, and not using soldering, crimping or special clamps. Moreover, the inspector visits the institution regularly once every three months, and there have never been any comments, warnings, or orders in this regard. A fine of 2,000 rubles was issued.

    • Lawyer's answer:

      In accordance with Part 1 of Art. 20.4. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, violation of fire safety requirements, with the exception of cases provided for in Articles 8.32, 11.16 of this Code, entails a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of five hundred to one thousand rubles; for officials - from one thousand to two thousand rubles; for persons carrying out entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity - from one thousand to two thousand rubles or administrative suspension of activities for a period of up to ninety days; for legal entities - from ten thousand to twenty thousand rubles or administrative suspension of activities for a period of up to ninety days. Thus, if you are an entrepreneur (and this follows from the size of the fine) and have committed an offense for the first time, you have the right to contact arbitration court with a statement to declare illegal and cancel the said decision regarding the imposition of punishment. Taking into account the circumstances of the case, the court can 1) declare the decision completely illegal 2) give you a warning 3) impose a minimum fine of 1000 rubles. They should probably save you from 2000 rubles.

    Please help me solve the problem administrative law. I need it very urgently, I don’t have time at all! Police Sergeant K and his wife, while relaxing in the forest on a day off, violated fire safety rules, as a result of which the director of the forestry enterprise on whose territory the offense occurred took the following measures: he fined each of them and reported the incident to the police department where K works. The head of the police department, in turn, reprimanded K and ordered him to pay compensation material damage, caused to the forestry enterprise. Are the actions of the director of the forestry enterprise and the head of the police department legal?

    • Lawyer's answer:

      According to Art. 38 of the Federal Law “On Fire Safety”, for violation of fire safety requirements, persons may be subject to disciplinary, administrative or criminal liability in accordance with current legislation. In the context of this task, we are interested in administrative and disciplinary responsibility. The first is assigned to K. and his wife, and the second - only to K. as an employee of the internal affairs bodies. In accordance with Art. 2.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, employees of internal affairs bodies are responsible for administrative offenses in accordance with regulatory legal acts regulating the procedure for serving in these bodies. However, for violation of fire safety requirements outside the place of duty, these persons are liable for general principles, that is, according to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The case is about an administrative offense under Art. 8.32 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, is considered by bodies authorized in the field of use, protection and protection forest fund(Article 23.24 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation), as well as by bodies exercising state fire supervision (Article 23.34 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). In our case, the fine was imposed by the director of the forestry enterprise. Obviously, he is an official included in the list established by Part 2 of Art. 23.24 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, that is, it is competent to consider such a case and impose an administrative penalty in the form of a fine. So, the administrative punishment in the form of a fine was lawfully imposed on K. and his wife. According to Part 5 of Art. 4.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, no one can bear administrative responsibility twice for the same administrative offense. However, the reprimand announced by the head of the ROVD to Tarasov is not administrative punishment. It was applied as a penalty for violation official discipline, provided for in clause 2, part 1, art. 38 Regulations on service in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation.
