The paper examines some aspects of theoretical views on administrative punishment. The author analyzes the concept of administrative punishment as a measure of responsibility for an administrative offense, its essence and objectives. The study highlights a number of topical problems in the field of legal regulation of the system of administrative punishments that cause difficulties in the correct choice and appointment of administrative punishments. Attention is drawn to the lack of a unified approach for the legislator to establish a system of administrative penalties in terms of their alternative or non-alternative nature. It is shown that some sanctions are incompatible with the nature of the offense; there is a significant gap between the lower and upper limits of penalties in alternative sanctions, a significant difference exists in the sanctions applied to different subjects of the same offense. As a result, the commission of a more socially dangerous act in practice entails infliction of a less severe punishment, which does not meet the goals of prevention. It is noted that in some cases, when deciding on the infliction of an administrative penalty, jurisdictional authorities do not take into account mitigating or aggravating circumstances. Some proposals are made to improve the current legislation on administrative offenses. In particular, the author suggests that it is necessary to correlate all administrative offenses with each other according to the degree of public danger and, on this basis, introduce a system of punishment for administrative offences. It is also proposed to toughen the liability in relation to individuals, since the amount of the fine in relation to individuals and legal entities in some cases differs 50 times. At the same time, the author substantiates the necessity of involving the population in the development of legislative initiatives in this area.

The article is devoted to the study of the problems of legal regulation of jurisdiction and jurisdiction of cases of administrative offenses in the light of the forthcoming reform of administrative tort legislation. The author shows how the issues of optimizing jurisdiction and jurisdiction in such cases are related to solving the problem of ineffectiveness in the administration of justice in the sphere of administrative-tort relations and restoring the systemic character of legislative regulation of administrative responsibility, establishing clear criteria for the distribution of cases of administrative offenses between judicial and non-judicial bodies, with one hand, and within individual links of the judicial system — on the other. Particular attention is paid to substantiating the need to establish a predominantly out-of-court procedure for considering cases of administrative offenses. At the same time, it is emphasized that the optimization of the administrative and jurisdictional activities of the courts should be associated with such factors as the social significance and direction of the unlawful act, as well as the severity of administrative punishment. In this regard, the appointment of administrative punishments in the form of a warning, deprivation of special rights and administrative expulsion in the form of an independent departure from the Russian Federation is proposed to be attributed to the exclusive competence of the executive authorities.With regard to an administrative fine, the author concludes that only in cases where the size of the fine is comparable to a more severe administrative penalty or the amount of increased fines established for crimes in similar areas of activity, its imposition should be attributed to the exclusive competence of the court.In certain cases, it is also proposed to introduce a simplified procedure for considering cases in the courts on the imposition of an administrative fine.

One of the main novelties of the Code of Ukraine on Bankruptcy Procedures was the introduction in Ukraine of the institution of bankruptcy of individuals, which was a long-awaited event among scientists and practitioners. It has been more than a year since the introduction of the institution of bankruptcy of individuals in Ukraine, and in some Economic Courts there are not even 10 cases of insolvency of individuals. There are many reasons for this: the high cost of the procedure, the complexity of paperwork to open proceedings, as well as a number of problematic and conflicting issues that arise in practice relevant legislative provisions. The purpose of the article is to identify problematic aspects in the legal regulation of bankruptcy of individuals and the practice of applying the relevant provisions of the Code of Ukraine on Bankruptcy Procedures, as well as to develop proposals to improve legislation in this area. Given the relatively small number of lawsuits to restore the solvency of individuals in Economic Courts, today it is necessary to state the lack of a unified approach of national commercial courts to most of the problematic issues that arise during the consideration of this category of cases. It is emphasized that since the opening of insolvency proceedings, the debtor — an individual and his family members are under the close attention of the Economic Court and the arbitral trustee, who must examine in detail all the circumstances that caused the insolvency of an individual. Based on the analysis of case law, it is established that the practice of most Economic Courts, especially Appellate, shows the absence of a legal requirement to pay court fees by the debtor for filing an application to open insolvency proceedings, and the application of requirements to the application to open proceedings insolvency of an individual of the general requirements provided for in Art. 34 of the Code of Ukraine on Bankruptcy Procedures, is inappropriate in this part. Prohibition of the debtor’s departure abroad is a measure to ensure creditors’ claims, which should not be applied automatically in all cases, but only when it is proved that the debtor intentionally acted to prevent the procedures provided for him by the Code of Ukraine on Bankruptcy Procedures. As a result of the study, the author concludes that an individual entrepreneur has a number of unjustified preferences, compared to legal entities, to initiate bankruptcy proceedings, which is not fair in terms of equality of all entities and causes unequal position of creditors of legal entities and creditors of individuals — entrepreneurs.

Theoretical and applied research of the features of the legal status of the subjects of civil law remains debatable today. Doctrinal and legislative analysis of this subject points to unresolved issues in this area. In particular, the provision on defining the state as a party to civil law remains controversial. There is no consensus on the definition of individuals and legal entities as subjects of civil law among scholars. Furthermore, the legal regulation of certain types of entities is somewhat unsystematic and chaotic. This is largely due to the insufficient development of theoretical issues related to the subjects of civil law. The above issues determine the relevance of the study of the features of the legal status of subjects of civil law. The purpose of the study is to investigate the features of the legal status of subjects of civil law based on doctrinal and legislative analysis. The study is based on a systematic approach, which lies in studying a complex system of relationships between subjects of civil law. Furthermore, the study is based on the laws and principles of dialectics, which contribute to the study of the legal status of the subjects of civil law. Systemic and structural-functional analysis was used to comprehensively describe the legal status of subjects of civil law. The historical method contributed to the study of the evolution of research on the subjects of civil law. The formal legal method helped identify the special features of the provisions of regulations concerning the subjects of civil law. With the help of the comparative legal method, the study analysed the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine in terms of regulation of subjects of civil law and such regulation was compared with other countries. The study defined the concepts and types of subjects of civil law and considered the features of the legal status of individuals, legal entities, as well as the state as a special participant of civil law. Special attention was paid to the historical analysis of the development of approaches to the definition of subjects of law, starting with Roman law

The article raises the question of differentiating the legal regulation of legal relations arising from a pledge, depending on the object of the pledge. Of course, the pledge as a way of securing the fulfillment of obligations is characterized by common features and general approaches to regulation, regardless of the object, at the same time, the features of individual objects require the specification of the relevant rules. The ongoing debate in science regarding the ratio of objects of civil rights, as well as the lack of unity on the issue of the ratio of individual objects, gives rise to a discussion regarding certain types of collateral, classified depending on the object. The author pays special attention to the pledge of property rights and proposes an approach on the relationship between certain types of property rights, in particular, rights of obligation, rights of participants in legal entities and exclusive rights to the results of intellectual activity.

Within the scope of unlawful acts, environmental delicts are among the most serious ones in terms of environmental impact, the consequences of which directly affect the quality and development of agriculture as the main branch of economic activity. The issue of environmental protection and liability can be approached from different perspectives, and the focus of the present research will be on the analysis of environmental delicts committed by legal entities, taking into consideration the importance and role of these entities in agriculture.

The article is devoted to the study of foreign experience of improving national legislation in the field of regulation of the organization of electronic state registers. The author analyzed scientific conceptual approaches to defining the concept of state registration, on the basis of which a number of characteristic features of state registration were distinguished. Based on the scientific and legal analysis, it is concluded that the objects of state registration may include, in particular: information about natural and legal persons, things (movable and immovable), property and other rights (property rights, leases, easements, etc.), documents (regulations, court decisions, statutes, etc.), legal facts (birth, death, acquisition or loss of citizenship, formation, reorganization, liquidation of a legal entity, public association, commencement or termination of a pre-trial investigation, enforcement On proceedings, etc.). The author analyzes foreign experience of countries such as Georgia, Germany, Sweden in the field of legal relations arising in the sphere of state registration and organization of electronic state registers. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that one of the significant shortcomings of national legislation in the field of legal relations arising in the field of state registration is the lack of a single legislative approach to the formation of the list of information about the object of state registration. In order to improve the legal regulation of state registers, including in the light of foreign experience in this field, the author has developed the following proposals, in particular, to introduce a unified approach to: defining the concept of “state registry” (as an information and telecommunication system), “state registration” (as a type of state activity); the procedure of keeping state registers, if their holder is one body; Introduce the legal principle of determining the amount of information about a state registration object, in particular: extending the information contained in public registers and minimizing information in non-public registers.

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.
