The article attempts to substantiate the special normativity of the legal positions of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, which allows them to be “qualifiedˮ as a relatively independent form of law. A series of arguments is proposed proving the need to codify the legal positions of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.
