This paper is devoted to the consideration of certain aspects of legal cooperation in civil matters related to the determination of jurisdiction, recognition and execution of court decisions, as well as the definition of law to be applied when considering cross-border cases within the EU. At the EU level, an entire system of unified legal norms has been created governing the procedure for handling cross-border disputes in civil matters within the Union. At the same time, the EU’s goal is not to replace national procedural legislation with Allied acts, but to facilitate access to justice in civil cases of a cross-border nature in the context of close economic integration. The author analyzes the concept of «legal cooperation in civil matters», and also reveals its key elements. The paper highlights and examines in detail the four modes of consideration of cross-border cases within the EU, notes their features, as well as analyzes judicial practice.

The scope of international legal regulation of public-private partnership (PPP) is being expanded due to the extended range of intergovernmental relations and relations involving international organizations of public-private partnership, as well as extension of the scope of international law to cross-border relations regarding PPP. A relatively small number of international conventional rules and legal norms that regulate the relations in the sphere of public-private partnership have not yet been codified in the form of a multilateral international treaty. Gaps in the international legal regulation activate non-formal processes of managing international and cross-border relations in the sphere of public-private partnership with prevalence of the international intergovernmental organizations. The scientific novelty lies in articulation of the problem of formulation and application of the international standards of public-private partnership as the results of such non-formal processes of international rulemaking of international organizations. Using the formal legal and comparative legal methods, generalization and abstraction, the author formulates the definition of international standards of public-private partnership, discloses their content and difference from the international standards in other spheres of international relations, assesses their legal nature, problems and prospects of their formation. It is substantiated that the development of international standards of public-private partnership would be facilitated by establishment of their adoption procedure in the conditions of cooperation of all international organizations that perform a regulatory function in the sphere of public-private partnership.

Discretionary Powers

The article presents an analysis of some issues of legal discretion. There is no unified approach either to the definition of discretion or to the legal nature of this phenomenon. There are difficulties in the evaluation of the legal discretion in acting legislature. In private law trial discretion comprises codified regulation. This phenomenon is particularly typical in contract law: the court’s assessment of the behavior of participants in contractual relations as lawful or unlawful, abuse of rights, determination of the nature of the legal norms governing contractual relations. The discretionary powers of the court in many respects make it possible to ensure uniformity in the consideration of cases of a certain category, to form judicial practice on the application of the relevant legislation. The main areas of judicial activity in this case are: making the right choice of the rule of law to be applied to qualify the relevant legal relationship, applying the analogy of law and as well as the legal position developed when resolving a certain category of cases.

Given the lack of proper legal regulation of both cross-border insolvency in general and the invalidity of transactions in cross-border insolvency in the Russian law, the author analyzes Russian judicial practice revealing the problem of determining applicable law in challenging the debtor’s transactions in the framework of the insolvency procedure. The author concludes that the Russian judicial practice shows that determination of the law applicable to the invalidity of transactions is contingent on the existence of a bankruptcy procedure and on the grounds for recognizing the transaction as invalid. Based on the analysis of the European regulation of legal issues applicable when challenging the debtor’s transactions in cross-border insolvency, the author considers possible exceptions to the conflict of laws lex fori concursus for certain categories of third parties to be protected from unexpected interference in the legal relationship of the parties to foreign law in order to ensure the stability of the turnover and maintain legal certainty.

The subject of this research is the system of legal norms of the Russian Federation that regulates public relations within the process of restriction of the constitutionally recognized information rights and liberties of a human and citizen, as well as establishment of the boundaries of their realization in the current conditions of development of the information society and digitalization. The goal of this work is to develop theoretical foundations for information law through demarcation of boundaries and restrictions of the information rights and liberties, which would also contribute to improvement of information legislation and the practice of its application. The scientific novelty of research is reflected in the acquisition of scientific knowledge required for development of legal regulation of the information sphere in the conditions of digitalization, among which are the original definition of the concepts “boundaries of exercising rights in the information sphere” and “restrictions of information rights and liberties”, obtained based on the conducted analysis of the forming public relations within information sphere and their legal regulation. The following conclusions were made: 1) there is absence of research on the issues of boundaries of rights, including boundaries in information law; 2) there is a need for determination of boundaries of exercising right in the information sphere and restriction of information rights and liberties in implementation of legal regulation, as well as consideration of the legal nature of technical norms in their inclusion into a normative legal act.

Legal Consequences

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.

This article examines the issues of differentiation of legislative and subordinate regulation of public relations. It is noted that in the process of law-making activities, including the legislative process, practical questions often arise about the competence of various state bodies to establish various legal norms and rules. These issues are related to the need to establish a clear legal meaning of the constitutional norms devoted to the definition of the subject of regulation of laws. In particular, there is a need to clarify the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article 61 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan in terms of the concepts "the most important public relations", "all other relations", "subsidiary legislation", as well as to establish the relationship between these concepts. Interpretation is also required by the provisions of p. 4 of Article 61 of the Constitution in terms of clarifying the question of whether the conclusion follows from mentioned provisions that all possible social relations in the Republic of Kazakhstan are subject to legal regulation, including those that are subject to other social and technical regulators (morality, national, business and professional traditions and customs, religion, standards, technical regulations, etc.). Answering the questions raised, the author emphasizes that the law and bylaws, as a rule, constitute a single system of legislation, performing the functions of primary and secondary acts. However, the secondary nature of subsidiary legislation does not mean that they regulate "unimportant" public relations. The law is essentially aimed at regulating all important social relations.

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 article has investigated the mechanisms of the national (both legal and non-legal) regulation of orphan works, i.e. works the holder (holders) of rights to which is (are) not identified and/or the location of the rights-holder is not established. Orphan works are supposedly protected by copyright, which means the validity of exclusive rights and the potential need to obtain permission from the copyright holder for any form of using the works under consideration, namely: reproduction including digitization, translation, processing, etc. However, in a situation where the right holder is not determined (is unavailable), the user does not have an objective opportunity to obtain such a permission, and the work actually remains unknown to the society, although it can be of artistic, cultural or historical value. Since the beginning of the new millennium, the national legal systems of a number of States have establish a special regime for the legal protection of orphan works, and about 20 states of the world have developed the foundations of such a regime so far. The article analyzes the regulation of orphan works in several states — in the EU and its member states, Great Britain, the USA, Canada, Korea, Japan, India. The authors have determined the foundations of the substantive and conflict of laws regulation of cross-border relations regulating orphan works. Features of regulation of works with an unidentified author in the era of a network society are highlighted: in particular, the need to digitize orphan works, since many of them are in a single copy on the medium ruined by time, and the fact that the digitized work can instantly spread from databases to other jurisdictions. The authors provide for the forecast of possible ways of evolution of legal regulation of relations in question with the use of mechanisms of national and international law.
