Application of the rules of alternative jurisdiction in pension disputes

Purpose: The article aims to explore new additions to procedural legislation, in particular the rules for the application of alternative jurisdiction in pension disputes in courts of general jurisdiction. The plaintiff's appeal to the pension dispute court is now also possible at his place of residence, which gives interested parties the opportunity to determine the most accessible court of first instance for judicial protection, in addition to the previously valid rules of appeal at the location of the pension authority, the pension fund branch, the advisory department. In this regard, it was necessary to consider the concept of the category «place of residence», what is meant in judicial practice by the place of residence of the person concerned, whether there are contradictions in the positions of the courts on the issue under study.
