It is concluded that the criteria for the legality of a court decision in cases of environmental administrative offenses are the correct application of: substantive law and compliance with procedural law, analogy of law or analogy of right in terms of both substantive and procedural rules; compliance of the resolution within her national, constitutional, sectoral principles, basic principles of justice, requirements of the rule of law. In terms of compliance with the requirement of validity of the decision is most pronounced subject – object specifics of offenses – their «environmental», because it is in investigating the circumstances of the case and assessing evidence, the judge must operate it knowledge and rely not only on administrative tort law, but also environmental, natural resources, which sets requirements for the use and protection of natural objects and resources, environmental safety, which have been violated.
