Subject and method of legal regulation in determining the sectoral relationship of substantive norms and the type of legal process

The method of legal regulation plays an important role in determining the branch affiliation of procedural norms. This issue has become particularly relevant since September 15, 2015 when the Code of Administrative Procedure of the Russian Federation CAP RF came into force. 
The linkage of “administrative” legal proceedings to the administrative process in the CAS RF caused an ambiguous attitude among scientific community. 
The problem has an intersectoral character, so there may be some advantage in using theoretical approaches developed within the framework of the general theory of law and the theory of the legal process to solve an issue of law. 
The article presents an analysis of the role of the subject and method of legal regulation in determining the types of method of legal regulation and the procedural forms of their implementation on the basis of the theoretical construction of the mechanism of legal regulation of social relations developed by V. D. Sorokin. 
The provisions of the general theory of law on the types of a unified method of legal regulation and the procedural forms of their implementation and the provisions of the general theory of the legal process concerning the procedural forms of the jurisdictional legal process made it possible to determine the sectoral procedural nature of the domestic model of administrative proceedings and identify its shortcomings.
