Abstract
The article continues the scientific discussion on the so-called administrative and tort law, initiated by the author in 2020, and presents some of its interim results. The lack of interest in the discussion from the representatives of the departmental science of administrative law, originating from the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, has been noted. The perspectives of those who participated in the discussion one way or another (V. I. Mayorov, Yu. I. Popugaev, Yu. N. Starilov, and others) were analyzed. All of them advocate for the separation of so-called administrative and tort law as an independent branch of Russian law or a sub-branch of Administrative Law. The opinions of the participants of the discussion are critically evaluated. The author of this article argues that they did not provide any compelling arguments in favor of singling out the so-called administrative and tort law in this capacity. The author’s previously expressed position about the absence of grounds to single out so-called administrative and tort law as a separate branch of Russian law or a sub-branch of Administrative Law is confirmed. The set of substantive and procedural norms that form the basis for administrative liability has been and remains a sub-institution of the legal institution of administrative coercion. This institution belongs to such sub-branch of Administrative Law as Police Law.
