Introduction: modern legal science is faced with the task of developing the concept of an agreement on the elimination of contractual civil liability: determining its legal nature, scope and conditions for its implementation. For this purpose, the authors of the paper attempt to model the theoretical and legal basis of the agreement on the elimination of contractual liability of the debtor for non-performance, improper performance of its obligations. Using the general scientific methods – synthesis, analysis, comparative and dialectical methods, as well as the specific scientific methods of cognition, in particular, formal-legal, structural-functional and others, the authors determine the legal nature and scope of the agreement on the elimination of contractual liability for violation of a contractual obligation, and examine the practice of such application. Results: it is indicated that within the framework of the agreement on the elimination of contractual liability, it is possible to expand the list of circumstances related to “force majeure”, but taking into account the criterion of the latter: emergency and insurmountability. Conclusions: an agreement to eliminate contractual liability is not possible in contractual obligations involving a weak party, unless it is concluded in its favor. Therefore, the main scope of their application is the obligations related to the implementation of business activities. The possibility of concluding this agreement is a manifestation of the principles of autonomy of will and freedom of contract.

The article deals with the problematic items of choosing a court competent to review court decisions that have entered into legal force on newly discovered or new circumstances in civil and administrative proceedings. The aim of the authors is to conduct a study of the legal regulation of the jurisdiction of applications for review. The methodological basis of the article was formed by general scientific (analysis, analogy, description, synthesis, and systemic approach) and particular scientific methods (historical-legal, comparative-legal, and formal-legal). A retrospective analysis of legal acts of domestic legislation has been carried out. According to the results of the study, difficulties relate to interpreting and applying the existing rules on determining the appropriate instance for revision. Based on the analysis of the judicial practice of courts of general jurisdiction and arbitral courts, the authors come to the conclusion that there is no unified approach of the courts in determining the procedural and legal consequences of violations of the rules of jurisdiction. The conclusion summarizes proposals for improving the current legislation to eliminate ambiguities and achieve uniformity in judicial practice.

The Subject

The subject of the research is the criminal-legal aspects of the implementation of a fine as a type of criminal punishment. In this regard, an analysis of the materials of judicial practice is carried out, which makes it possible to reveal the current trends in the appointment of a criminal fine by the court. The dynamics of the appointment of a fine by the court as the main and additional punishment has been established. The purpose of the study is to uncover the problems of implementing a criminal fine as a type of punishment and to develop proposals for improving the mechanism for imposing a criminal fine by a court. The methodological basis of the research is formed by a set of general scientific and private scientific methods that predetermined an integrated approach to the study of the purpose of a fine as a type of punishment. In the course of achieving the goal of the study, special legal methods of cognition were used to facilitate the analysis of the legal regulation of the appointment of a fine, the determination of the property status of a person, and other income of the convict. The main results of the study contain conclusions and proposals aimed at improving the measures for the appointment of a fine in relation to minors, for the aggregate of crimes, when replacing a fine in case of malicious evasion from its payment. Conclusions are formulated regarding the methodological, organizational and practical aspects of the legal impact of a fine as a type of punishment aimed at achieving the goals of punishment. The novelty of the research topic lies in the formulation and solution of the problem associated with the appointment of a fine: 1) for the aggregate of crimes; 2) in relation to minors. Conclusions and proposals for improving the criminal law governing the basis and procedure for imposing a criminal fine are formulated.

Contractual Relations

Introduction: the article analyzes the possibility of the civil law principle of cooperation being implemented in various types of relations under civil law. Traditionally, the cooperation principle is considered in both Russian and foreign literature as the principle of fulfillment of a contractual obligation or as a group of additional obligations imposed on the parties to the contract and arising from the good faith principle. A more detailed consideration of the idea if cooperation allows us to draw a conclusion about the feasibility of this principle in other types of relations under civil law. Purpose: to justify the possibility of the cooperation principle being implemented in civil law relations other than contractual relations, namely in property legal relations, pre-contractual legal relations, and obligations from causing harm (protective legal relations). Methods: general scientific dialectical method; special scientific methods such as the method of comparative law, the technical method, the legal-dogmatic method, the historical-legal method. Results: analysis of legal regulation of such relative legal relations as contractual, pre-contractual, and protective, as well as property legal relations as a form of absolute legal relations, has shown that the cooperation principle is successfully implemented in these types of legal relations. Therefore, it is possible to consider this principle to pertain to the branch of civil law as a whole. Conclusions: the cooperation principle performs two functions: first, based on this principle, it is possible to achieve the purpose of civil law relations in a more effective way; second, this principle serves as a mechanism to overcome unforeseen circumstances that prevent the purpose of legal relations from being achieved. These functions are carried out in all the types of legal relations considered: in contractual relations – when there arise obstacles to the performance of a contract not specified in the contractual provisions; in pre-contractual relations – when there arise obstacles to achieving the purpose of negotiations (i.e. conclusion of a civil law contract); in protective relations – when there is a risk of an increase in harm or a risk of inability to fully reimburse damage in a timely manner; in property relations – when there occurs an accidental loss of a thing by the rightsholder.

This paper deals with a new phenomenon for the Russian system of justice - legally relevant notice in the context of determining its legal nature on the example of the sale notice of share of joint property. The authors analyze separately and in their interconnection the theoretical problems concerning both the legal nature of legally relevant notice and the sale notice of the share of common property to a third party. The authors suggest that in case of the need to ensure adequate protection of the rights of co-owners, it is significantly important to consider the sale notice of a share of joint property as a legally relevant notice. The methodological basis of the study is a set of general scientific and private scientific methods: system-structural analysis, formal legal, comparative legal, logical and other methods. The scientific novelty of the research is that the authors, on the basis of theoretical conclusions, legislative acts and judicial practice, proposes to consider the sale notice of the share of common property to a third party as a special case of legally relevant notice, due to the normative content of Art. 250 of the Civil code. The authors also refute that the legally relevant notice is a quasi-transaction. During the study, the authors come to the following conclusions: the sale notice of share of common property to a third party can not be an offer; legally relevant notices are part of the civil protection mechanism, and their legal effect should be associated with the principle of good faith; it is necessary to make some changes in the current civil legislation.

Introduction: claims for recognition of a registered contract as terminated and the right of obligation as absent combine the following features: (1) they are declaratory; (2) belong to the category of negative ones; (3) are not explicitly stated in the law; (4) are recognized by judicial practice; (5) are aimed solely at eliminating legal uncertainty. The unity of features determines the need to analyze these types of claims within a single study. Purpose: to establish the reasons for the occurrence in practice of claims for recognition of a registered contract as terminated and the right of obligation as absent. Methods: general scientific (dialectical) method of cognition of scientific concepts of private law; special scientific methods of cognition: formal-legal method, historical-legal method, method of comparative legal studies, forecasting. Results: the transition of the claim for recognition of the right of obligation as absent to the category of remedies directly referred to in acts of official interpretation of law entails great risks. As soon as the emerging practice is recorded in an act of interpretation, the following will happen. Firstly, the number of cases of its use in practice will be likely to increase, which will entail an increased burden on courts. Secondly, there will appear the prerequisites for the full formal legalization of the phenomenon, as has already happened with the recognition of a contract as not concluded and the recognition of the right to a thing as absent. Should there be no registration actions in the Russian legal system, there would not be so many claims of a negative legal nature recognized by practice, including the claim for the recognition of a registered contract as terminated. Protective legal rules aimed at regulating claim-based relations that have the purpose of ensuring a more stable existence of regulatory relations are often formalized in the law, being widely applied in practice by the time changes are introduced into the law.

Actual Control

Currently, the problem of subsidiary liability of controlling persons is complicated by the specifics of the status of persons who are not in legal relations with the debtor, but actually control it. The identification of actually controlling persons is difficult due to the insufficient certainty of the signs of actual control. It is important to note that the degree of certainty of the signs of actual control at the level of legal regulation affects the accuracy of the qualifications of persons as controllers when considering specific court cases. The purpose of this article is to formulate theoretical conclusions on the identification and prosecution of actually controlling persons on the basis of judicial practice. Research objectives: assessment of the legal regulation of subsidiary liability of controlling persons; assessment of situations of actual control; identification of signs of actual control. This article is based on general scientific methods (systemic, functional, a group of logical methods such as deduction, induction, analysis, synthesis) and special legal methods (formal legal, legal modeling method). As a result, it was concluded that the definition of controlling persons includes both persons who are in legal relations with a legal entity (nominal control), and persons who are not in legal relations with a legal entity, but nevertheless have the ability to provide actual the control. Since the signs of actual control are insufficiently defined at the level of legal regulation, problems of subsidiary liability of actually controlling persons arise in judicial practice. It was revealed that the courts qualify actual control due to circumstances that indicate either the exercise of specific powers of the debtor's bodies directly by the actually controlling persons; or that the powers of the debtor's bodies are exercised by nominal controlling persons, but their will is formed by actually controlling persons.

This article is devoted to the study of the historical experience of regulating pre-contractual legal relations. The main focus is on the development of preliminary contract legislation. At the same time, problems are posed related to possible ways of further development of legislation on a preliminary contract. The purpose of the article is to study the current legal regulation of legal relations complicated by a preliminary agreement, and to propose scientific ideas aimed at improving the Civil Code of the Russian Federation in the part related to the preliminary agreement. The article was written with the active use of general scientific methods and special legal methods. When writing the article, the methods of formal logic and the general dialectical method and methods of interpretation of legal texts were used. In this article, conclusions are drawn about the need for a general design of a preliminary contract, uniting elements of all existing structures that ensure the organization of future contractual relations. In addition, this article draws conclusions about the introduction of special restrictions on freedom of contract when concluding a preliminary contract. The author expressed the idea of fixing such a legal consequence in case of violation of a preliminary contract, as the recognition of legal consequences as having occurred.

The purpose of the study is to conduct a general theoretical analysis of scientific approaches to the definition of the concept and essence of the legal regime in order to overcome its narrow industrial understanding and identify the role and significance in the process of legal regulation. General scientific and private scientific methods of knowledge including formal legal and comparative legal methods have been chosen as research methods of this paper. Logical techniques allowing to reveal the essence of legal regimes and formulate the author's definition of them have also been applied. The analysis of scientific works expressing various opinions indicates that at present an instrumental approach to the definition of the concept and essence of the legal regime prevails directly (or indirectly through the procedure of legal regulation) as a set of legal means (instruments). The following are mentioned as signs of the legal regime: mandatory normative legal consolidation (formal legal nature), specific target, special regulatory order based on a combination of legal means and methods of legal regulation, in relation to subjects of law, i.e., in a subjective sense, creating of favorable (or unfavorable) conditions to achieve certain interests, systemic and integrated character of a regime and its special structure. As a result, the author's definition of the legal regime is presented as a special procedure for the legal regulation of public relations, based on a certain combination of legal means and methods of legal regulation (permits, prohibitions, and positive obligations) aimed at achieving the relevant legal goals and planned optimal socially significant result.

The aim: To propose effective jurisdictional methods in the field of legal regulation of surrogacy and ensuring the rights of surrogate mothers in the EU. Materials and methods: The research is based on international documents in the field of surrogacy, Ukrainian legislation, decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, scientists' works in the field of legal regulation of surrogacy, etc. General scientific methods (synthesis, induction, system method) and specific scientific methods (comparative legal and special legal methods) are used. Conclusions: The study found that today some issues related to the surrogacy legal nature, conditions and procedure for its implementation remain out of the EU's attention. It is established that the adoption of a separate regional (within the EU) legal act will fully solve the existing problems, ensuring the effectiveness and transparency of surrogacy, will unify the medical tourism's mechanisms in the field of surrogacy. The authors have developed and proposed to enshrine the main provisions on surrogacy in the EU Regulation / Directive.
