The article discusses the prospects for the implementation of intelligent energy metering systems (IEMS) as a key element of modern energy infrastructure. The primary objective is to assess the effectiveness of IEMS implementation in the context of developing the “smart city” concept and the digital transformation of the energy sector. The authors examine the impact of IEMS on the development of energy efficiency in the economy, the stimulation of innovative technologies, and the creation of new jobs; they consider the prospects for integrating IEMS with machine learning technologies. The possibility of creating a unified digital ecosystem for energy consumption is also noted. The authors analyze the economic benefits of implementing IEMS, including reduced electricity losses, cost optimization, and improved customer service. The social effects of implementing these systems are emphasized: simplified interaction with energy companies, the ability to control costs, and improved environmental conditions. The authors propose initiating the development of administrative measures that will allow the full potential of IEMS to be realized.

The article explores the issue of existing particularism in judicial practice.The authors examine the importance of judicial acts and question whether it is appropriate to acknowledge them as sources of law because they are legal facts. The concept of a “legal position” has been defined by modern judicial practice to such an extent that,in the lackof inherent characteristics that would give this categorya unified meaning,its meaning is lost rather than expanded or specified.There is a sense of isolated lawmaking and conditions for a “precedent revolution” due to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation’s isolated legal positions that lead to conflicts with existing legislation.There is a belief that when courts must find the necessarylegislative solution,theyare deprived of normative and scientific support. Research reveals that the current family legislation does not include legal requirements in the Code itself for acknowledging a court decision as a legal fact in the areas of guardianship, alimony rights, and adoption regulation.The current situation requires legislators’ attention, and the judicial lawmaking examples discussed in the study should be removed from the legitimate legal environment.
