| Summary: | The Criminal Cassation Department of
the Governing Senate was established as part of
the reforms of Alexander II in the 60s of the 19th
century as the highest court, which verified the
legality of judgements handed down in a case by
judicial chambers, district courts and magistrates’
assemblies. The purpose of the study is to analyse
the specifics of cassation appeal against sentences
in the post-reform period on the basis of normative
legal acts of the Russian Empire, sources of
judicial practice, archival materials, which are
first introduced into the scientific turnover.
The methodological basis of the research is a set of
general scientific (induction, deduction, analysis,
comparison) and specific scientific (historicallegal,
formal-legal, comparative-legal) methods
of cognition. Results: the author concludes that
granting the Governing Senate the right to verify
the legitimacy of judicial acts in the course of the
reform of 1864, contributed to the resolution of
lawful, justified and fair sentences. In general,
the institution of cassation acted as a guarantor
of the observance by the judicial authorities of
the principles enshrined in the Judicial Statutes
of 1864. |
