The Favoured Treatment: Social-Legal Aspect
The article discusses the establishment of the most favoured nation treatment in respect of some members of the Russian legal life. The authors conclude that the legal treatment is a kind of the incentive treatment; it is consolidated in various sectors of the Russian law (for example, defense favoured treatment and a special legal treatment for the restoration of rights violated as a result of illegal and unjustified criminal prosecution are introduced by the rules of criminal procedure, tax law knows the institutions of offshore and special economic zones, etc.); it can be understood as ‘creating the best and the most favoured conditions for someone’. The importance of a direct reference to establishing the favoured treatment and expanding the scope of its application in the regulations is caused by the urgent needs for streamlining the relevant areas of legal regulation, improving the effectiveness of legal norms, providing the the most complete realization of rights and legitimate interests, as well as the early achievement of the purposes, which the Russian national legal system faces.
