We present a justified position that the definition of reasonableness (excess) in reimbursement of expenses is included in a wider range of problems associated with reasonableness in civil proceedings – problems of a doctrinal nature. We substantiate the argument that the legal nature of the “reasonable limits” for collecting expenses (especially, the justification for the representation services cost) does not have the effect of “pre-reflection” due to a number of objective reasons. We pay special attention to the neces-sity for legal mediation of the problem sector (and, in general, interested par-ticipation from the state, for example, when the Government of the Russian Federation is included in this process), concerning the justification of the cost of legal services for reimbursement of expenses in civil and arbitration pro-ceedings. We list materials of court practice on reimbursement of expenses for payment of the representative's services, confirming the polarity of posi-tions. We reflect other criteria that affect the justification of legal services cost in the context of the problem under consideration. We attempt to answer the question: what are the limits of such legal mediation of the problem sector: is there no risk of legalization in the narrow sense of this concept (excessive legal regulation)?

The article examines the legal nature of the institute of digital maturity. Being considered the legal grounds for the introduction and use of digital maturity indicators as part of digital transformation processes. The authors analyze the definitions of digital maturity given in the current legislation and scientific literature and outline the indicators of digital maturity. Based on the analysis of legal regulation and the legal nature of the digital maturity concept, the authors define it as the result (level) of the development of a particular subject, object, institution or development direction as part of the digital transformation implementation. This result is characterized by a certain general and special set of indicators (indicators). The article proposes to formalize this definition as part of a federal law or a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation. The analysis of the legal regulation of relations connected with the digital maturity provision indicates a clear lack of methodological support for these processes, the lack of a unified approach to understanding what digital maturity is, and what general and special indicators and criteria for their assessment should be used. The article concludes that, based on the existing legislation, it is often difficult to understand what requirements exist for a certain actor to ensure the digital maturity and how it is to be achieved. The future development of the concept of digital maturity will largely be based on the practical implementation of legally fixed models. In this regard, the authors believe that an instrumental means is carrying out the experiments on the official implementation of these indicators at the level of individual subjects, thus testing it and identifying a promising model for the digital maturity development. In the current situation, there exists a need for the development of the institute by assessing the practical implementation of digital maturity as part of digital transformation processes both at the federal and regional levels in the Russian Federation.

This article explores the causes for the emergence of “corruption-causing factors” in judicial acts, indicates correlation between “corruption-causing factors” and “private patronage” on the part of mafia institution (modern mafia groups), which is the highest “specific economic enterprise or industry that produces, encourages, and sells private patronage”, including interference in justice through corruption and bribery. The case law on the topic is analyzed. The object of this research is the activity of judges in assessing legally valid circumstances in relation to the responsibility of judges. The subject of this research is the norms of Russian legislation that regulate the activity of judges in assessing legally valid circumstances, as well as the texts of judicial acts on claims under the Article 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, civil and administrative cases of the courts of St. Petersburg, and the responsibility of judges. The author notes the absence of definition of “corruption-causing factor” in the judicial act, its characteristics, responsibility of the judges for decision-making that contain “corruption-causing factor”, effective judicial bodies that “investigate” the disciplinary misconduct of judges. It is underlined that the implementation of the institution of investigative judge was anticipatory. The scientific novelty is substantiated by the fact that this article is first to outline the concept of “corruption-causing factor” in the judicial act as the grounds for bringing the judge to disciplinary responsibility. The conclusion is made that this is a comprehensive issue; thus, the longer it would take to solve the questions of effective legal regulation of the mechanism of judicial responsibility, the more it would augment the risks of proliferation of the “corruption-causing factor” in the judicial system, which destroys confidence in the government authorities and deteriorates the state from within.

The article discusses the trends in the development of legislation regulating the aviation business in the Russian Federation, in particular, theoretical and practical issues related to the efficiency and safety of air transportation, as well as the search for a balance between them. The article reveals the history of forming the concepts «transport security» and «aviation security» in the Soviet and modern Russian legislation. In order to clarify the Russian state authorities` powers distribution in the field of transport security and their consolidation in the current legislation, the authors investigate the features of the powers of these bodies in the historical retrospect from the beginning of the XIX century. The authors critically analyze the implementation of the certain provisions of the Government of the Russian Federation «On the approval of requirements for ensuring transport security, taking into account the safety levels for air transport vehicles», the implementation of which causes significant problems for air transport operators. It is established that the implementation of these provisions is difficult: it will significantly aggravate the existing economic situation of aircraft operators, and in combination with the general negative trends in the world can lead to a possible mass bankruptcy of domestic small and medium-sized airlines. The authors suggest ways to solve the identified problems. In particular, a possible solution in finding a balance between transport safety and the cost-effectiveness of air transportation may be a «transition period», during which the expansion of the requirements under study will affect only new aircraft.

This article carries out a comparative legal analysis of the Russian institutions of registers of the unconscientious participants of the competitive procedures conducted within the contractual system in the sphere of purchases to provide the state and municipal needs, purchases made by the certain types of legal entities, as well as housing, land and forestry legislation. The author comes to the conclusion about their conceptual unity, their inseparable relationship with the competitive procedures, the emergence of which is a stage in a market economy development, the impossibility of an undubitable definition of the legal nature of the institutions under consideration, as well as the presence of certain differences and contradictions in their legal regulation, the existence of which is not based on objective reasons. The author proposes to improve the current policy management of the institutions under consideration in order to exclude the differences that are not caused by the peculiarities of the regulated relations, as well as to bring the regulatory and legal framework to a conceptual unity; he provides the substantiation for such proposals.

Due to the new coronavirus pandemic, high alert regimes were introduced across the Russian Federation in spring 2020. These emergency regimes were established exclusively by the state bodies of the Russian Federation’s constituent units – federal authorities did not introduce their own emergency regimes. This decentralized strategy of fighting the pandemic was also introduced by the USA and Brazil. Their states, without the sanction of the federal government, and in the case of Brazil, ignoring its bans, set emergency restrictions similar to those in Russia. The legal regulation of emergency regimes existed before 2020, when constituent units of the federation (states) actively used their emergency powers. However, the regimes introduced during the fight against the pandemic were slightly different to previous ones. The restrictions on rights and freedoms within these regimes were so severe that not only their proportionality was questioned, but there were also doubts as to whether the regional level of the government had the authority to establish such strict restrictions. In addition, the pandemic exposed old problems and revealed new shortcomings in the legal regulation of emergency regimes: lack of control over the realization of the emergency regime by legislative (representative) authorities, and gaps in legislative regulation – notably in the establishment of possible restrictions and of a mechanism for scrutinizing their proportionality. All this raised questions about the proportionality of the established restrictions. The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation resolved a very insignificant amount of the problems. While the United States and Brazil faced similar issues, the practice of scrutinizing implemented restrictions in these countries was more common. This article takes domestic and foreign experiences into account, while examining certain aspects of the establishment and the operation of regional emergency regimes.

Introduction: the emergence of such freelancing as remote labor meant the beginning of the process of the flexible virtual law formation. “Cloud computing” is coming into life. There appear the concepts of “working in the cloud” only in the virtual (digital) space, so the government program “Digital economy in the Russian Federation” of July 28, 2017, No. 1632-P adopted in the framework of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 9, 2017 provided the need for the formation of a comprehensive legislative regulation of relations arising in connection with the digital economy development. At the same time, it is specifically noted that the labor market should be based on its requirements in order to create productive employment. Methods: the methodological framework for this study is the methods of scientific knowledge, among which the main ones are the methods of consistency, analysis and comparative law. Results: the paper is devoted to the existing problems of the legal regulation of digital technologies in labor relations for the expedient and empirical updating of many legal norms, from which in the future it will be possible to start, change and supplement it, adhering to a fundamental change in labor relations in order to develop non-standard and fruitful employment. Conclusions: as a result of the conducted research it is established that in the Russian Federation the labor legislation regulating the electronic legal employment relations is fragmented and does not contain all the elements of the legal regulation. There is a need for the legislation on archive business in electronic form, the widespread introduction of electronic employment contracts, which can serve as the basis for the electronic personnel records management. The labor legislation should contain the provisions on the equivalence of an electronic labor contract to a written form.

The article is devoted to the study of the experience of legal regulation of the legal status of cryptocurrencies and transactions with them in Asian countries (except for the People's Republic of China and Asian countries - members of the Commonwealth of Independent States, as the author examined them in separate publications). In the article the author, based on the study of regulations, administrative and judicial practice of all major countries in this part of the world, emphasizes the divergent trends in cryptocurrency transactions regulation in the region, when some countries move from a liberal approach to the use of cryptocurrencies to their total ban and vice versa. It is noted that almost all countries in the region give a legal assessment of the payment function of cryptocurrencies, using regulatory or prohibitive approaches, depending on the chosen policy, which indirectly confirms their understanding of the legal nature of cryptocurrencies primarily as a means of payment. At the same time, these countries not only categorically distinguish cryptocurrencies from fiat money issued by central banks, but also mostly avoid the official definition of cryptocurrency as private (decentralized) cash, preferring to qualify them as an intangible asset, virtual asset, digital asset, financial value and even a good or service, which is currently a kind of compromise between political expediency and economic realities. The author also notes that the Asian region is characterized by very active attempts to resolve the legal status of cryptocurrencies at the legislative level, and not just administrative or judicial response to the actual legal relationship, although the progress of different countries in this matter is different. As a result, the author concludes that in the Asian countries considered in the article, there is no same view on the legal nature of cryptocurrency, its qualification as an object of civil rights, and ways to regulate transactions with it (libertarian approach, positive-cryptocurrency approach but with detailed government regulation and control or a completely restrictive policy in relation to the cryptocurrency market).
