Abstract. The informational reference is devoted to the urgent problem of ensuring effective judicial protection and exercising the right to appeal in cases of administrative offenses. The urgency is due to the need for further unification of procedural legislation, initiated within the framework of a large-scale legal reform in 2017, the purpose of which was to harmonize the rules of civil, commercial and administrative proceedings. However, the analysis revealed significant discrepancies between the appeal procedure enshrined in the procedural codes and Chapter 24 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses. A comparative legal analysis of appeal mechanisms was conducted, in particular, regarding the calculation of the term when pronouncing a summary decision and the application of the institution of “leaving an appeal without motion”. It is proposed to introduce a procedure for leaving an appeal without motion to eliminate shortcomings within the established period, which will ensure the unity of law enforcement practice.
Key words: unification of procedural legislation, analogy of law, appeal, term, appeal proceedings, appeal.
