Reasons of appearance and chronology of development of this institute are opened, differences between maklers and other intermediaries are explained, also differences between stockbrokers and private brokers, official and unofficial maklers are shown. The author pays attention to legal analysis of legal texts in pre-revolutionary Russia which regulate makler`s activity, examines makler`s duties and peculiarities of his activity. An attempt to explain specific legal provisions concerning makler`s activity is made. Simultaneously the author is based on researches of national legal scholars. In this article there are some conclusions that there was no legal regulation of brokerage contracts in pre-revolutionary Russia and that a brokerage contract was considered to be oral. The nature and peculiarities of brokerage contracts are examined, in particular a problem of paying honorary (brokerage fee) to a makler.It is also stated that except stock-brokers private maklers existed. Based on this research the author has grounds to state that some elements of brokerage might be assumed by modern legislators taking into account day-to-day realities.

The article is devoted to a comprehensive interdisciplinary study of the term «game» and its relatively new variety – computer game. The need to use an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the term is explained by the versatility and multi-aspect nature of the phenomenon under study. The article reveals the meaning of the concept «game» in the philosophical, aesthetic, historical, cultural, linguistic, psychological, technological and legal dimensions. The research methodology includes historical, systematic methods, as well as the method of formal legal analysis. The author emphasizes the influence of the development of forms of game activity on the development of social evolution, as well as the interaction of the game and the achievements of scientific and technological progress. The relevance of studying the term «computer game» lies in the fact that computer games have become the most popular type of gaming activity and the most profitable commercial product on the modern market. In this regard, terminological certainty is necessary due to the economic feasibility and effective legal regulation of the development, implementation and use of computer games. The authors propose to identify the main features of the concept «game», in general, and the specific features of the term «computer game», in particular. Based on the set of features, the author's definition of the concept «computer game» is proposed. In order to distinguish the studied concept from related categories, the analysis of the terms «electronic game» and «video game» is carried out. In conclusion, the authors assess the approaches to the legal regulation of computer games from the point of view of domestic legislation. As a result of the analysis of the possibility of attributing a computer game to a variety of programs for electronic computers or a variety of multimedia products, the choice was made in favor of the latter. Thus, at present, in order to solve legal problems related to the development and use of a computer game, the authors propose the application of the law analogy.

The article is addressed to the legal analysis of advertising placed in video games. Topical issues of the concept of advertising are touched upon from the point of view of its compliance with the legal definition enshrined in the Federal Law "On Advertising". There has been analized the distribution of advertising in video games, such as ads embedded in game content, including "product placement". In Russian legislation, there is an analogue of this category which is defined by the legislator as “references to a product, means of its individualization, about a manufacturer or seller of a product, which are organically integrated into works of science, literature or art”. The conclusion is made about the possibility of qualifying this technique as an advertisement in the absence of a sign of "organic integration". The examples of judicial and law enforcement practice of inorganic integration are considered. In such cases, the disseminated information is recognized as advertising, in respect of which the requirements of advertising legislation regarding restrictions on advertising of tobacco and alcohol, weapons and a number of other goods must be observed. There are special requirements for video games for minors in order to protect their rights. The author presents the position regarding the qualification of targeted advertising from the point of view of its compliance with such a sign of advertising as being addressed to an indefinite group of people. The conclusion is supported by the argument that personalization of an advertising message does not exclude its qualification as an advertisement. The problem of advertising distribution in computer games, including multiplayer games, carried out via the Internet, where obtaining the preliminary consent of the online game user to receive advertising is achieved by including this condition in the user agreement, is investigated. The conclusion is made about the need to improve legal regulation in the studied field.

The article analyzes the regulations governing such appointments. The article describes possible inconsistencies between clinical guidelines and standards of medical care in this matter, the role of the medical commission, the impact on the quality and safety of medical care, as well as the types of legal liability of a medical worker that may arise when a drug is prescribed not according to instructions.

In the article, from the standpoint of legal science and practice of state regulation of migration relations, the author examines the application of legal liability to violators of the norms of migration legislation. The author conducts a theoretical and legal analysis of the institution of legal responsibility. The definition of legal responsibility as a legal reaction of society and the state to the unlawfulness of actions (inaction) allows us to conclude that the introduction by the state of special legal regulation is a form of disposition of state power. The implementation of legal responsibility in the dynamics of legal regulation is characterized by the intertwining of regulatory, substantive and procedural and legal aspects, which allow ensuring the passage of responsibility through all stages and procedures of legal regulation, which creates an ordering effect. In conclusion, the author points out that legal responsibility, being an element of the legal regulation mechanism, clearly demonstrates its specificity and features, as well as general efficiency in the law enforcement process of imposing punishment.

- A precise definition of the principles and basis of the food product liability is included in an unusually broad scope of the food safety subject matter. Having regard to the whole set of Polish legal tools for food safety, the reader's attention was focused on civil-legal aspects of producer's liability for harm caused by food product's defect. The idea of the article, however, was not exclusively a detailed legal analysis of Polish legal solutions within this subject matter, but mainly an attempt to interpret these regulations which arouse most doubts in the Polish practice, especially from the point of view of their compliance with the Community regulations. The legal harmonization is undoubtedly of crucial importance in this sphere. It needs emphasizing that the majority of essential legal issues related to the subject matter of food safety as formulated in the Community law has been reflect119 ed in the Polish legislation. Currently this subject matter is regulated on the Polish legal area by the act of 25 August 2006 about the safety of food and feeding. It can be claimed, however, that the regulation of the liability for harm caused by unsafe product (comprising also the notions of agricultural produce and food product) in the Polish legislation complies with the requirements of the Community law. The shortcomings pointed out in the course of considerations absolutely do not allow to conclude that the objective of harmonization has not been achieved. This does not eliminate, however, the necessity to bring about changes postulated in the course of legislative considerations. In the Polish doctrine it is stressed that from theoretical, dogmatic point of view especially the new regime of liability for unsafe product (comprising agricultural produce and food product) should constitute a facilitation for claims to be made by the harmed person. It will, however, be the judicial practice which will decide about its legal efficiency.Parole chiave: responsabilitĂ  civile, prodotto alimentare, rischio di sviluppo e progresso.Key words: Liability, Food Product, Risk of Development and Progress.

The purpose of the research in the article is to consider the theoretical problems of legal regulation of property liability of the employer. This work is devoted to investigation of the indemnification peculiarities by a legal or natural person caused by their employee or another person in accordance with Art. 1172 of the Civil code of Ukraine that will allow to establish cases of its use, in combination with other norms of the legislation, in particular labour. The conditions and reasons for the occurrence of the mentioned non-contractual obligations, peculiarities and problems of application of the right of regression to the persons who caused the damage will be revealed. Nowadays, unfortunately, the concept of «regressive obligations» has not been investigated enough, the legislation does not contain a specific definition of the term, there are no reasons and conditions for their occurrence and application, the legal provisions of the participants of these obligations have not been interpreted, which complicates the application of regression in practice. The issue of indemnification caused by an employee in the performance of his duties is closely intertwined with two related branches of civil and labour law. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze some elements of each type of responsibility to determine their independence and separation. To achieve this goal, the authors set the following tasks: to identify the causes of this discussion; to analyze the scientific positions by various scientists, about the civil nature of the relationship of indemnification by the employee to third party; to carry out the comparative analysis of legal regulation of the given relations by norms of the labour law and regulation of relations on indemnification caused by the employer, by its employee, by the civil legislation; determine the peculiarities of the relationship of liability of the employer for damage caused by the employee; summarise the legal nature of the relationship to compensate for damage caused by the employee. This will help to identify recommendations for action in the event of similar commitments in life. For this purpose, in this research the national legislation is analyzed from both a theoretical and practical point of view.

The article presents the case of Dr. Aleck Bourne, which the author proposes to include in the catalog of borderline cases constituting the basis for in-depth discussions on ethical and legal aspects of human life with regard to the development of biology and medicine. The starting point is the presentation of the worldwide models for regulating the practice of abortion as well as the Polish regulation, together with a discussion on the role of the Constitutional Tribunal in shaping current legal provisions. The author notes that the interpretation of the right to life adopted by the Tribunal encourages the repeal of the indication model and the introduction of a complete ban on abortion, which will have significant consequences for ordinary legislation. Apart from describing the facts in the Bourne case, the strategy adopted by the defense and the sentence itself, the possible further areas of considerations regarding the limits of permissibility of termination of pregnancy have been signaled. Then, the conclusions resulting from legal analysis of the case were transferred to the exegesis of the constitutional principles of the right to life and the right to healthcare. Their constitutional form, interpretation resulting from the rulings of the Constitutional Tribunal and the ordinary legislation have been presented. The author indicates the main terminological deficiencies identified in this respect: the lack of any definition of the beginning of a human being, the existence of two separate criteria for determining death, which could lead to different results and the lack of an unambiguous definition of disease adopted by the legislator. Based on the concepts presented in the case, the right to healthcare has been defined as a legal right resulting from the right to life. The final thesis is that there are no grounds for hierarchizing these rights, as they are intertwined in content and function.
