Annotation: legal interpretative activity, like any other type of legal activity, is not devoid of problems, the main of which should be to admit the unsystematizability of interpretive acts; the lack of doctrinal document which outlines the common ways of implementing legal interpretative activity and reflects its main tendencies; the publication of controversial interpretative acts; the lack of statutory mechanism for monitoring acts of interpretation of law. The existance of such problems not only hampers its development but also serves as a legal basis for carrying out the optimization process aimed at improving the efficiency of interpretation of law.
