In modern conditions of development and reforming the sources of legal regulation of private law relations, questions of their research have become especially actual. Approaches aimed to consolidate new, more appropriate mechanisms for regulating well-known legal institutions in the civil law of Ukraine have emerged. Article 9 of the Civil Code of Ukraine stipulates that its provisions are subject to application for the settlement of relations that may arise in the fields of environmental protection, use of natural resources, family, labor relations, if they are not regulated by other legislative acts. The above determines the study, including the features of notarial protection of corporate rights of both legal entities and comparison with the rules of such protection of the rights of other partic-ipants in civil relations. Corporate rights are the rights of a person whose share is defined in the authorized capital (property) of a busi-ness organization, including the authority to participate in the management of such business organization, receiving dividends (a certain share of profits) and assets in case of liquidation, as well as other laws and statutory documents. Corporate rights may belong to individuals and legal entities, the state of Ukraine, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and territorial communities. Taking into account the legal nature of corporate rights, their definition, in par-ticular, through the possibility of receiving dividends and part of the property as a result of liquidation, corporate rights may belong to legal entities, including, for example, companies, cooperatives, farms, private enterprises and more. At the same time, in the article it has been substantiated the approach according to which the consolidation of provisions on the state, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and territorial communities as legal entities under public law is inexpedient and premature.

The state is the largest owner of corporate rights. Entities operating on the basis of state ownership only, as well as entities whosestate share in the authorized capital exceeds fifty percent or is a value that provides the state with the right to decisive influence on economicactivity are recognized as economic entities of the public sector of the economythese subjects. Instead, the subjects of economicsector of the economy are entities that operate on the basis of communal property only, as well as entities in the authorized capital ofwhich the share of communal property exceeds fifty percent or is a value that provides local governments with the right to decide impacton the economic activities of these entities.There are two main features of corporate rights of the state in the subjects of public law: 1) management of such corporate rightsis carried out in the manner prescribed by a separate law; 2) the purpose of managing the corporate rights of the state is to meet stateand public needs.In 2016, Ukraine underwent a reform that resulted in a significant strengthening of the legal regulation of the activities of supervisoryboards in companies in the authorized capital of which more than 50 percent of shares (stakes) belong to the state. In particular,an important novelty was that the majority of members of the supervisory board in such companies must be independent members ofthe supervisory board. Thus, in relation to the corporate rights of the state, the legislator has established a number of special restrictions.In particular, the corporate rights of the state are prohibited to transfer to companies for the formation of their authorized capital, exceptfor the transfer to the authorized capital of state joint stock companies and state holding companies. This restriction is aimed at preventingcovert privatization or withdrawal of corporate rights from state ownership.Significant strengthening of legal regulation of supervisory boards in companies in the authorized capital of which more than50 percent of shares (stakes) belong to the state, resulted in the introduction of the provision that the majority of members of the supervisoryboard in such companies must be independent members of the supervisory board. An independent member of the SupervisoryBoard has equal rights and responsibilities with other members and independently decides on voting on all issues on the agenda of theSupervisory Board meeting.

The article examines the theoretical and practical issues of application of the Law of Ukraine «On Sanctions» of August 14, 2014 and analyzes the existing views on the legal nature of such «legal phenomenon» as sanctions - special economic, financial and other restrictive measures (sanctions) provided by this Law. The article specifies the main issues facing the researchers of the Institute of Sanctions. The purpose of the article is coverage of the state of legal regulation and legal nature of such a phenomenon as sanctions (economic, financial) in the right to Ukraine. In order to achieve this goal, the author used a set of general and special methods that are characteristic of legal science. The article covers the issue of Ukraine's sovereign right to protection, in particular through the application of economic and other restrictive measures (sanctions) «to protect national interests, national security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, counter terrorist activity, as well as prevention of violations, restoration of violated rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of citizens of Ukraine, society and the state». The range of subjects against which sanctions can be applied has been studied, namely: a) foreign states; b) foreign legal entities; c) legal entities under the control of a foreign legal entity or a non-resident individual, foreigners, stateless persons; d) entities engaged in terrorist activities. Sanctions are defined as legal measures to respond immediately to violations of various rights, from encroachment on state sovereignty to the commission of a crime of an international nature, which are temporary, which are applied primarily through coercive measures, which are implemented using constitutional, financial, administrative, economic, criminal procedural, executive, economic procedural and other branches of law. The issues of the grounds for application of sanctions, their types and criteria for their delimitation, the term of application of sanctions, as well as the range of authorized entities in the field of their application are covered. The main approaches of scholars to the characterization of sanctions as measures of influence are investigated. It is noted that sanctions are measures of influence different from measures of legal responsibility, which may have a "non-criminal" nature. It is stated that sanctions are measures of influence that are applied, albeit in parallel, but in a systematic connection with the criminal prosecution imposed by the state or executed by it as a subject of international cooperation in the fight against crime. Their application is, firstly, due to the decision at the international or regional level on the application of international economic (financial) sanctions, personal sanctions in the course of criminal prosecution for acts of an international crime. However, Ukraine is obliged to adhere to international standards of the legal mechanism for the application of sanctions at the domestic level, to improve the procedural principles of their application, appeal procedures and amendments to the decision. We consider the participation of the Commissioner for Human Rights in the process of reviewing the decision on the application of sanctions and appealing the decisions necessary. Amendments to the Law of Ukraine "On Sanctions" are proposed in order to establish among the necessary grounds for the application of sanctions to individuals the opening of criminal proceedings against them, and for legal entities - the opening of criminal proceedings against related persons, as well as amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, as it does not contain provisions on such preliminary measures (securing and stopping) as "sanctions". In addition, in general, the sanctions procedure requires greater transparency, and it is concluded that sanctions can be applied to Ukrainian citizens only if they are suspected of involvement in terrorist activities.

In accordance with Part 2 of Art. 17 of the Constitution of Ukraine, military units, first of all, are the bearers of power and act in public relations as subjects of realization of the goal set by the state in the form of repulse of possible aggression from outside, and therefore the main tasks, internal structure, subordination, reporting and control in this area is governed by constitutional and administrative law.

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.

Introduction. Nowadays, the issue of determining the legal status of the company's share in the own authorized capital of LLC and TDV has become quite acute, as evidenced by the adoption on July 28, 2021 by the Commercial Court of Cassation in Case № 904/1112/20, in which the Court established a new approach legal nature of such a phenomenon and expressed his own position on the understanding of the legislation concerning the legal status of the share of LLC and TDV in its own authorized capital. Given that a limited liability company is the most popular type of legal entity that is chosen to conduct business in Ukraine, the analysis of this issue is relevant. Some scientific value for the development of the transfer of the participant's share are the works of individual authors devoted to the study of the legal nature of the share in the authorized capital but the problems arising around the legal status of the company. in their own authorized capital in these works were only mentioned along with others, but did not receive a detailed separate study. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the normative regulation of the legal status of the company's share in the own authorized capital of LLCs and ALCs, identification of shortcomings in their legal regulation and implementation, as well as the search for ways to eliminate them. Results. One of the most relevant decisions concerning the subject of this article is the Judgment of the Commercial Court of Cassation in case № 904/1112/20 of July 28, 2021. The court in this case found that the votes attributable to the share belonging to the company itself are not taken into account when determining the results of voting at the general meeting of participants on any issues. However, Ukrainian legislation does not contain any direct norms that would prohibit the exercise of the right to manage a company in relation to itself on the basis of a share in its own authorized capital. That is why the company cannot be a participant in relation to itself, although they seem logical, but do not have sufficient regulatory support, and therefore do not allow to be firmly convinced of their compliance with the law. In view of this, it can be stated that there is a significant gap in the national legislation on this issue, which, in our opinion, the Court failed to “fill” with this decision in the case. Conclusion. In the Ukrainian legislation at the level of the Law of Ukraine “On Limited and Additional Liability Companies” Article 25 defines the possibility for a company to acquire a share in its own authorized capital. However, the regulation of the legal status of such a share cannot be called sufficient, due to which in practice there are certain problems in the implementation of the provisions of the legislation concerning the share of the company in its own authorized capital. The solution of these legal problems is necessary to ensure the highest quality and clarity of the law, as well as to form case law with common approaches to understanding a single rule.

The article analyses the characteristics of the participation of legal entities under public law in contractual relations. The concept of a legal entity under public law has not yet been developed. At the same time, the doctrine indicates the marks of legal entities under public law. The article discusses in more detail the agreement on the lease of the complex of full ownership of state property. The author analyzes the legal nature of the contract, the characteristics of the composition of the subject, the subject of the contract, essential conditions, questions of termination and termination of the contract. The legal nature of the rental right is mandatory, since the lease gives rise to legal relations of ownership and arises on the basis of a contract. Scientific approaches to the concept of "company" are investigated and, according to the author, the company should function as an object and not as a subject of law.

In this paper, the author deals with the issue of forced acquisition of goods and services. The topic is approached both according to positive law and from the historical aspect. Attention is paid to various forms of confiscation of property with a special analysis of the process of expropriation of private goods and services. After public procurement, expropriation is the most common type of procurement of goods and services for the benefit of the state or the wider community. Also, expropriation, on the other hand, is a forced way of transferring the property rights of a natural or legal person on immovable property in favor of the state, which is done in the public interest and with compensation (which should be fair). Other coercive ways of acquiring property for the benefit of the state (ie public entities) are: nationalization, confiscation and arondation. However, only expropriation (from the extraordinary measures mentioned in the paper) has a wider application or significance for the regular functioning of the state, ie its public administration. The author (also) looks at the types of forced acquisition of goods and services for their temporary use. Requisition for the needs of the country's defense is of wider significance. Finally, instead of a conclusion, the legal nature of expropriation was pointed out. It is an institute of mixed legal nature - administrative law nature (public law elements) and property law nature (civil law elements). However, its public law elements prevail.

The specificity of this agreement is due to the peculiarities of transport as a natural monopoly of the state. The contract of international carriage includes public law (determination of the status of the transport environment) and private law (direct organization of the carriage itself) aspects. International carriage is the carriage of goods and passengers between two or more states in accordance with the terms of an international agreement concluded between them.
