In the paper based on conceptual provisions put forward by Prof. Kozlova, the author sets the objective to identify tendencies that manifest themselves in the development of constitutional and legal institutions at the present stage taking into account the dynamics of the subject of legal regulation, as well as the ongoing transformation of the Russian legal system. In this regard, the author has examined the problem of expanding the field of relations regulated under constitutional law. The author has concluded about the blurring of boundaries between institutions of constitutional law, which entails the problem of attribution of norms to a particular institution. The paper has analyzed the issue of emergence of intersectoral institutions that can be characterized as neither public nor private, as neither substantive nor procedural. This leads to the need to change the very approach to the concept of “institution of law.” It is concluded that constitutional law institutions can contain unwritten legal regulators that can include both rules of natural law and rules of conduct developed directly in the society.

The purpose of the article is to provide scientific rationale of the place and role of financial leasing in financial and credit support for investment activities of enterprises. The subject matter of the research includes various aspects of the current state of financial leasing and ways of its advancement in Ukraine. The article provides an analysis of investment activities based on the volume of investments in Ukraine and determines the role of financial leasing as a funding for investment resources of enterprises. The paper also examines the legal and regulatory framework for financial leasing operations and highlights different interpretations of this form of financing as well as its formal indicators. An analysis of statistical data on the financial and credit market provides important insights into trends of financial leasing contracts and the volume of loans issued to corporate borrowers, and thus makes it possible to conclude that there is a lack of leasing operations in business activities of entities. The point is mainly supported by the fact that financial leasing contracts which have been made lately are not widespread enough after the crisis in 2014. The dynamics of changes in the volume of leasing contracts by dates of signing is considered, and it is found that there is a tendency to shortening the duration of financial leasing services. An industry factor of providing financial leasing services is taken into consideration and the main industries where these services are widespread are described. The existing approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of leasing contracts are systematized. The key challenges that hinder the growth of leasing in Ukraine are identified. The research methods used in the article include: analysis, synthesis and abstraction (for forming the rationale and developing the terminological and conceptual framework of the study); comparison, systematization and logical generalization (for examining the concept of financial leasing, its legal regulation and specific features of using in Ukraine); statistical, structural and comparative analysis (for exploring ways of advancement of financial leasing in Ukraine).

The paper is devoted to the problem of using the work of another person in the intellectual field, primarily in literary activity. The involvement of ghostwriters in writing literary works has created a legal phenomenon when the subject matter of contractual relations represents the inalienable non-property right, namely: the right of authorship the transfer of which is not possible in many jurisdictions, and in others, despite the absence of an explicit prohibition, there is no legal regulation of such alienation. However, the existence of ghostwriters cannot be assessed as a unique phenomenon of modernity. In our time, they have only gained new forms and a special place not only in the literary, but also in the scientific field. In this regard, the establishment of legal mechanisms for attracting and regulating ghostwriters is more effective than the establishment of a system of prohibitions.In the conditions of changing publishing businesses and increasing ways and forms of proof, questions about the authenticity of a person's authorship began to arise increasingly, especially in the field of scientific and scholarly literature, where the work of "new" researchers is often used. The issue of assignment of the right of authorship (copyright) — a fundamental property right — is treated differently in different legal systems. The continental system of law relies on impossibility of transferring copyright from one entity to another as part of a civil law transaction. Therefore, instances of attribution of authorship are assessed in the context of criminal or administrative law. It forms the legal essence of the division of rights of authorship into property and nonproperty ones: any commercial rights to intellectual property can be ceded except the authorship.

The paper has analyzed the academic heritage of Prof. Ekaterina I. Kozlova in the part of her research of fundamental issues of the theory of constitutional (state) law, namely: the system of the branch under consideration and public law institutions. The author focuses on suggested by Prof. Ekaterina I. Kozlova innovative division of the system of the branch of constitutional law and the structure of the Constitution, the substantive approach to the construction of the institution of state law, consistent defense of the concept of unity of the system of constitutional (state) law. The author has determined the current significance of the conclusions made by Prof. Ekaterina E. Kozlova concerning the development of constitutional law institutions: complication of their structure, expansion and specialization of constitutional law norms and, as a consequence, the emergence of complex institutions and the problem of subsectors; an increase in the number of norms, i.e. principles and procedural rules in constitutional law.

Currently, neither conclusion nor execution of the contract for the performance of sociological research have legal regulation. The paper proves that the contract under consideration refers to civil contracts for the provision of services. Thus, in case of a dispute, the general rules of Chapter 39 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (“Reimbursable Services”) should be applied. The ICC/ESOMAR Code applies to sociological services relations if the parties in the agreement between them have stated the provisions of the ICC/ESOMAR. The essential terms of the contract for the performance of sociological studies using the questionnaire should include: the subject matter of the contract; the type and characteristics of the information collected; the method of research; the study respondents; confidentiality of respondents’ personal data; the term (period) and the place of the study. The subject matter of the contract under consideration covers the main actions of the parties: the performer conducts the sociological research (collects, purposefully processes and transmits certain information), and the customer accepts and pays for services rendered. The collected data is intended for establishing and analyzing social trends, patterns of social development, solving the problems of the society as a whole, population groups and a separate team. Non-essential terms of the contract for the performance of sociological studies using the questionnaire method include the terms stipulating the method of conducting the questionnaire, the quality of the research, the registration of the result of the study and the procedure for the transfer of information, the amount and procedure of remuneration for services rendered, the terms regulating liability for non-performance of the duties of the parties. The author proposes to enshrine in the law a simple written form of any kind of contract for the performance of sociological research regardless of the price of the contract, the personality of the customer and the performer indicating that failure to comply with the simple written form of the contract entails its invalidity.

Introduction: the theoretical and legal study of the relationship between the object and subject of the constitutional regulation is important for the science of constitutional law, as it eliminates the uncertainty in this matter. Purpose: the theoretical and legal study of the relationship between the object and subject of the constitutional regulation. Methods: the methodological framework for this study is a set of methods of scientific knowledge, among which the main ones are the methods of historicism, consistency, analysis and the comparative law method. Results: there has been proposed the author’s point of view to include in the category “the object of the constitutional regulation” the principles of constitutional law, the material and intangible benefits, the values of the individual, society and the state, including the rights and freedoms of man and citizen, the sovereignty and independence of state power, the legal interests. It is they that characterize a special sphere of relations, the area of the constitutional influence, accurately revealing the content of “the object of the constitutional regulation” and its volume. Conclusions: as a result of the theoretical analysis of these scientific categories, the authors come to the conclusion that in its root essence the subject of the constitutional regulation is a derived concept from the object of the constitutional regulation. The authors believe that the subject of the constitutional regulation and the object of the legal regulation are connected by a single theoretical and legal basis.

Of late, the constitutional law of libel has become the focus of increasing dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction has taken various forms. The argument below, however, is that the most crucial defect of constitutional libel law lies in the Court’s continuing attempts to draw and utilize distinctions among public figure and private figure libel plaintiffs. The Court should abandon these attempts. Instead, the Court should attend, broadly and fundamentally, to the constitutionally vital distinction between libelous speech that does or does not address some matter of public interest and concern. The argument below first emphasizes the constitutional logic underlying the Court’s initial imposition of First Amendment limitations on the state tort law of libel. The argument then critiques the Court’s initial embrace of a supposedly fundamental but actually distracting distinction between public and private figure libel plaintiffs. Interestingly, for a brief time, a divided Court returned to a focus on the underlying logic of putting First Amendment limits on the tort of libel, only to then re-distract itself with a renewed focus on questions of public and private figure status. Perhaps inevitably though, the Court’s emphasis on public versus private figure status has been qualified, in limited ways, by recourse to the genuinely basic and more valuable distinction between speech that does or does not address some matter of public interest and concern. The argument then catalogs some additional problems inherent in the Court’s public versus private figure libel plaintiff distinction. The argument then defends the essential priority of a focus on the public interest versus merely private interest nature of the subject matter of the libel defendant’s speech. A brief, but comprehensive, conclusion then follows.

Rakstā atspoguļoti autora veiktās romiešu tiesību pirmavotu, galvenokārt romiešu sabiedrības līguma (societa – lat. val.), tiesiskā regulējuma izpētes rezultāti par minētā regulējuma un modernās Latvijas likumdošanas aktu idejiskajām kopsakarībām. Tajā uzsvērta romiešu legālo principu ietekme uz tādu darījumu, kuru priekšmets ir neatļauta un nepieklājīga darbība ar reliģijai, likumiem vai labiem tikumiem pretēju mērķi, spēkā neesamības tiesiskajā reglamentācijā, kā arī uz Latvijas Republikas Civillikumā ietverto “maldības”, “viltus”, “nosacījumu”, “termiņu” un “tiesiska darījuma formas” koncepciju romiskajiem pamatiem. Latvijas pētnieki minēto tematiku šādā skatupunktā īpaši nav aplūkojuši, ar publikācijām latviešu valodā autoram saskarties nav nācies, tāpēc šis pētījums varētu dot ieguldījumu nacionālās tiesību zinātnes attīstībā. The article deals with the results of the author’s research performed on the original sources of the legal regulation of Roman Law, mainly, Roman partnership agreement (societa – Latin) in relation to the principles of interconnections between the above mentioned regulation and the legislative acts of modern Latvia. The influence of Roman legal principles in relation to the regulation of an impermissible or indecent action has been pointed out, the purpose of which is contrary to religion, laws or moral principles – it may not be the subject-matter of a lawful transaction; such a transaction is void; there have also been emphasised such concepts as “mistake”, “fraud”, “conditions”, “terms” and “form of lawful transaction”, which are based on the Roman Law and included into the Civil Law of the Republic of Latvia. Latvian researchers have not studied the above mentioned problems in relation to these aspects; the author has not found any publication in Latvian concerning these issues. Thus, the research might be a particular contribution to the development of national jurisprudence.
