Introduction: currently, retail sales contracts are widely used, under which technically sophisticated goods are transferred to the property, which form a special group of goods and have the specifics of the legal regulation. Meanwhile, there is no legal definition of a technically sophisticated good, and there are no regulatory criteria for this legal category. In this regard, the authors set the goal: to summarize the approaches developed by judicial practice on this issue, to identify what normative justification of technical sophistication is used when including goods in the List of technically sophisticated goods. Results: the importance of qualifying a product as technically sophisticated is investigated, the problems of qualifying goods as technically sophisticated are identified, and the reasons for determining the category of wireless devices equipped with a touch screen, two or more functions, and the absence of similar devices without a touch screen in the List of technically sophisticated products are established. Conclusions: based on the analysis of the legislation and the materials of judicial practice, the problems of applying the List of technically sophisticated goods and the ambiguity of the law enforcement are identified. Based on the results of the work, the authors have developed the practical proposals and recommendations for improving the legislation.

The subject of this research is the materials of the prosecutorial, law enforcement and judicial practice, norms of procedural legislation and legislation on the prosecutor's office, which regulate social relations emerged in exercising discretionary powers by the prosecutor in the context of oversight activity over execution of laws by the entities under supervision, as well as the positions formed on this matter. The object of this research is the social relations that arise in exercising discretionary powers by the prosecutor in the context of his oversight activity over execution of laws by the entities under supervision, essence, principles and limits, as well as the problems of their implementation occurring in prosecutorial activity. The study of discretionary authority of government branches lately receives increasing attention due ti the fact that limitless exercise of such authorities can invoke corruptive behavior. Examination of the questions of legal regulation of discretionary authority of the prosecutor is of prime importance as the prosecutor's office oversights the execution of laws and observance of rights of the citizens. The existing legal constructs that allow the exercise of discretion by the prosecutor are far from perfect, which causes the problems of law enforcement and violations of rights of the subjects under supervision. Therefore, the author explored the views of the scholars on the possibility of application and the scope of discretionary authority in the work of the prosecutor’s office and other government branches, effective legislation that regulates the discretionary authority of the prosecutor along with the practical aspects of its use. The novelty of this work and the author’s special contribution consist in the fact that based on the obtained results, the author offers a definition of the discretionary authority of the prosecutor, principles and limits of their application, as well as the way the legal constructs involving such authority should be structured.

The contract of purchase and sale is one of the most common contractual institutions. According to the Art. 655 of the Civil code of Ukraine, under the contract of purchase and sale one party (seller) transfers or undertakes to transfer property (goods) into property to other party (buyer), and the buyer accepts or undertakes to accept prop-erty (goods) and to pay for it a certain monetary amount. At the same time, according to the case law, no unified approaches have been developed to interpret the legal consequences of failure to reach agreement on all the essential terms of purchase and sales contracts and mechanisms to protect the interests of counterparties to such agreements. Examining the procedure for concluding a contract of purchase and sale, we can not ignore the problem of its «conclusion», «validity» and «non-conclusion». It should be noted that the Civil Code of Ukraine has not provided a legal definition of «failed contract» or «unconcluded contract». Instead, the Economic Code of Ukraine in the Part 8 of the Art. 181 has stipulated that in case the parties do not reach an agreement on all material terms, their contract will be considered unconcluded or failed. No less difficulties also arise in interpreting the contract of purchase and sale as invalid or not concluded if at least one of its parties denies the fact of signing. The approach according to which «in case of contesting the very fact of concluding a transaction, such a fact can be refuted by presenting a relevant conclusion on the inconsisten-cy in the motivating part of the court decision» – does not quite agree with Art. 55 of the Constitution of Ukraine and the principle of access to justice. For example, under the current approach in court practice, the plaintiff is not reimbursed for court costs (costs of paying court fees, legal aid costs, etc.). In any case, as of today, it is expedient to better address the relevant problems in order to provide a real opportunity for participants in civil traffic to effec-tively protect their rights and interests.

The article offers an analysis of the legal norms of the current legislation regarding the definition of the objects of concession agreements. A brief assessment of the amendments to the Federal Law No. 115-FZ “On Concession Agreements” dated July 21, 2005, regarding the inclusion of information technology objects in the list of objects of concession agreements is given. The correlation of general and special norms at the conclusion of concession agreements in respect of several objects is considered. The position on the presence of a gap in legal regulation and the need to establish a list of cases at the level of a sub-legislative regulatory act giving reasons to evaluate the conclusion of a concession agreement for several types of objects for possible prevention, limitation or elimination of competition is substantiated. Peculiarities during the transfer of communal facilities by concession agreement regarding state registration of ownership of these facilities and the term for putting them into operation were revealed. On all issues considered, the author gives examples from judicial practice.

The Russian competition law does not include the definition of the concept of collective dominance, and the notion of this institution itself contains many gaps. The indicated disadvantages of statutory regulation and simplified approaches of the Federal Antimonopoly Service, which became possible due to the formal approach, have led to the formation of controversial law enforcement practice by the antimonopoly authority and courts. The article presents the analysis of legal regulation, as well as the law enforcement practice, and proposition on solutions to the stated problems.

The conceptual approaches to determine the essence and a concept of a legal doctrine as a source of law were found. The value of generally accepted principles of State’s and law development in the process of legislation activity and enforcement, including the interpretation rules of law, was highlighted. Although, the legal doctrine could change in nature, that determines its essence, content and mission. So the purpose of this research, accordingly, is to figure out the essence and concept of legal doctrine that is emerging in a result of the consolidation of courts’ enforcement and law interpretation practice.

It creates the conceptual approaches to overcome gaps in a law and to improve a law enforcement. It influence on the development of legal system and system of law. It was concluded that judicial doctrine is formed by a formulation of typical approaches, established to solving specific cases. Introduction to the Ukrainian legislation such notions as “exemplary case” and “standard case”. This above mentioned is an important step to the increasing importance of judicial doctrine and recognition of its role as a source of law in Ukraine. Thus the perception of law, judicial practice, judicial legislation in society is changing. Also, in our review, the legal construction of the definition of The Supreme Court’s conclusions legal effect requires the enhancement. That is due to their binding nature, as enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine.
