S. I. Plotnikov, V. S. Sbitnev, ‘Subject of office forgery’, Ural Journal of Legal Research, 2021, No. 1. pp. 42–47. DOI 10.34076/2658_512X_2021_1_42.
The article considers the interpretation of the “official document” in the legal definition of forgery committed by an official. There is a conclusion that the legislative definition of an “official document” given in the law of a different branch is unsuitable for criminal law. The study of judicial practice leads to the conclusion that there is no uniform understanding of “official document” by the courts. A new definition of “official document” is proposed on the basis of generalization of judicial practice. An official document is a document (including electronic) created by state and municipal bodies, officials, state and municipal employees, directly related to their state, municipal and official activities, securing facts that entail or may entail in the future legal consequences in the form justification or deprivation of rights, imposition or release from obligations, changes in the scope of rights and obligations.
