Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the legal nature of court decisions of the Supreme Court as a court of cassation in the administrative proceedings of Ukraine. The concept and role played by court decisions of the court of cassation in administrative proceedings are defined. The types of court decisions of the Supreme Court as a court of cassation in the administrative proceedings of Ukraine are systematized. It is emphasized that the Supreme Court as a court of cassation within the limits set by the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine, adopts rulings and rules. The decision on the cassation appeal is essentially made in the decision, which is final and not subject to further appeal. At the same time, the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine provides for the possibility of adopting an additional resolution. It is emphasized that additional court decisions are made when all procedural issues have not been resolved by a ruling, in particular the issue of court costs.
