The mandate contract, although it bears similarities to other types of conventions and legal institutions, is unequivocally different in its specific features. In our article, we shall try to distinguish the mandate from representation, a legal institution with which it shares similarities that have generated doctrinal discussions. We believe that the usefulness of this approach is justified all the more since representation has received its own legal regulation under the new Romanian Civil Code, for the first time in our civil law. The conclusion of our study is that representation is not the essence of the mandate, but only characterizes its nature, since there is mandate without representation, as well as representation without mandate.

The article analyzes the novels of the legislation of the Republic of Belarus concerning the procedure for using gift certificates when selling goods (performance of works, rendering services). It has been done a comparative analysis of the legal regulation of the procedure for circulation of gift certificates in the Republic of Belarus, Ukraine and some foreign countries (Canada, the USA). The author raises some problems concerning the use of a gift certificate in civil circulation. It is pointed out that there is uncertainty both in the theory of civil law and at the level of legislative regulation regarding the civil law nature of a gift certificate. It is noted that the analysis of the legislation in force in the Republic of Belarus allows us to define a gift certificate as a document certifying the property right (requirement) of its holder (bearer) to receive goods (works, services), and the amount of money contributed when purchasing a gift certificate, as advance payment (advance payment). At the same time, such an approach of the legislator is criticized due to the fact that there is a clear contradiction to the requirements of Art. 402 of the Civil Code of the Republic of Belarus, from the content of which it follows that the advance payment presupposes the existence of a contract in which the subject has been agreed, which is not typical of most gift certificates, due to the fact that they do not contain an indication of the subject of the contract. Having done the analysis of the civil legislation of Ukraine, the author makes a conclusion that there is application of the rules on a purchase agreement to gift certificates, the subject of which may be property rights in accordance with the Civil Code of Ukraine. The conclusion is made about the imperfection of the legal regulation of the procedure for circulation of gift certificates in the Republic of Belarus and Ukraine, as well as about the complex legal nature of the gift certificate, regarding which legal regulation should be more universal, defining a gift certificate as an independent object of civil legal relationship.

The article considers the most effective mechanisms for realizing the confiscation of property as a means of counteracting corruption. The confiscation institute is investigated in its civil, not criminal-legal meaning. The authors of the article paid special attention to the analysis of international legal regulation of various issues of confiscation in rem and the problems of implementing this institution in the domestic legal field. An analysis of domestic anti-corruption legislation showed that, for all its similarity with the institution, confiscation in rem, the domestic civil-legal institution of confiscation is not such. In the process of its definition, vices are laid, which nullify the effectiveness of the implementation of this institution. When investigating the civil-law institute of property confiscation, the authors used methods of analysis, synthesis, systemic and functional approaches, formal legal and comparative legal methods. On the basis of these methods, the authors come to the conclusion that Russian legislation ensuring the implementation of Art. 235 GCRF, at the moment does not contain effective tools to combat corruption. The author draws attention to the problem of corruption-relatedness of the anti-corruption legislation. In his opinion, the solution of this problem will require a serious analysis of all normative material, a detailed forecast of the application of legal norms in real social conditions.

The article analyzes a new legal trend, the essence of which is to consider property relations as a single complex, whereby the boundaries of certain segments of property and legal regulation complement and replace each other. The analysis of jurisprudence and, above all, case law and justice gives examples of such phenomena. The article analyzes the rulings of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, which show a connection between tax and civil law. First of all, this resolution of the Russian Constitutional Court of December 08, 2017 No. 39-П, which was to some extent a turning point, because it introduced the possibility of the subsidy of state coercion and confirmed the new content of delita liability, provided for by Article 1064 of the Russian Civil Code. Delicate liability began to transform and became not only a means of reparations to the holder of absolute right, but also an expanded reimbursement of purely economic losses. The latter are defined as physical damage not resulting from physical injury to a person or property. From these positions, the article analyzes the Rulings of the Russian Constitutional Court of 05.03.2019 No. 14-П and from 02.07 2020 No. 32-П. The two above-mentioned rulings are united by the fact that the possibility of recovering purely economic losses under Article 1064 of the Russian Civil Code in these decisions is assumed, i.e., it indirectly stems from the content of the decision. In the article the author concludes that the widespread use of tort liability situations involving public relations shows that, thanks to the expansion of its content, it tends to go beyond civil law and the article by the institution of inter-industry.

The paper substantiates the author’s proposal to amend the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which is explained by the gradual creation of a digital economy in the Russian Federation. In particular, the author has examined and solved the following problems of the legal regulation of civil law relations in the context of digitalization: the problem of identifying the object of digital rights, the problem of legal qualification of the electronic form of the transaction, the problem of using a smart contract in civil transactions, the problem of using blockchain technology to create mixed payment systems. The paper proposes a non-standard solution to each of these problems—the author has prepared a draft federal law "On Amendments to Parts One and Two of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation in terms of legal relations arising in cyberspace." In particular, the author proposes to define digital rights as the absolute and relative rights to digital property named in this capacity, the content and conditions of implementation of which are determined by the law and the rules of the information system (protocol) that meets the characteristics established by the law. In the author’s opinion, an electronic document can exist in the form of a machine information file of any format or a computer program that meets the characteristics of an electronic document.

Based on general legal and civilistic experience in the study of evaluative concepts, the author investigates the general and the specific in their civil law nature. As the result of the study, the author draws the conclusion that the existence of evaluative concepts forms a distinctive essential feature of civil law as private law. It is noted, however, that the doctrine, law-maker and law-enforcer need basic guidelines that will allow to define objective criteria for nominating concepts as evaluative, as well as for determining the boundaries of their systematic interpretation. Also, the author concludes that the impact of evaluation concepts on legal regulation in private and public law is different. In civil law, depending on the localization in the text of the Civil Code, it is possible to distinguish two groups of evaluation concepts. The first group includes the basic evaluation concepts that allow us to see the goals, meaning and specifics of civil law regulation. The second group, in the author’s opinion, includes peripheral evaluation concepts that are utilized by property law and separate contractual constructions and the presence of which allows to avoid unnecessary causality and, at the same time, makes it possible to bring legal regulation closer to real relations.

The article is devoted to improving the legal regulation of the replacement of a party to an obligation in the civil legislation of Ukraine, taking into account the needs of civilian turnover and economic practice. The reasonability of the additional settlement of issues of reimbursement of contracts for the assignment of claims and compensation for additional costs associated with such a concession, as well as the introduction of the institution of the assignment of contracts into Ukrainian civil law, is argued. The lack of a direct indication of the law on the remuneration of a claim for assignment of a claim has led to the emergence of a number of interpretations of such a transaction as being non-remunerative. Meanwhile, according to the basic provisions of the Civil Code of Contract - the contract is repayable, unless otherwise stipulated by the contract, law or does not follow from the essence of the contract. In addition, the consequence of concluding a deed of assignment claim is the acquisition by the new creditor of property rights that are property, so the free acquisition of property must be considered as a gift, an indication that is absent in the legislation. Unknown to the contract law of Ukraine and the civil institute of contract withdrawal, which is sufficiently widespread in economic practice and is regulated by European legislation. . The meaning of a contract cancellation is to transfer from one person to another the rights and obligations under the contract with a third party, ie it is a simultaneous combination of the cancellation of claims and the transfer of debt. It is necessary to extend the methods (structures) of transfer of debt through the introduction in Ukrainian civil law of the methods known since Roman times, in particular, the expropriation as a separate construction of the replacement of the debtor in the obligation, which occurs on the initiative of the creditor and on the basis of the agreement concluded between such credit and the new debtor in the absence of the need to obtain such consent from the original debtor; and intercession as a construct, when a new debtor is joined to the obligation (which may be divisible) and each of them must fulfill the obligation in its share.

The article analyzes the features of the legal regulation of intellectual property in Ukraine, in particular in the Ukrainian lands of Austria and Austria-Hungary (1772-1918). The author shows that the main source of legal regulation of civil relations, in particular intellectual property, in Galicia as part of Austria and Austria-Hungary (1772–1918) was the Austrian Civil Code of 1811. Property rights under the Austrian Civil Code of 1811 were the right of ownership, the right of possession, the right to pledge, and easements. The author highlights that things were divided into corporeal, disembodied, movable and immovable, used and unused, with price and without price. The bodily things were those perceived by the sense organs. Disembodied things included, first of all, property rights - the right to fish, hunt, and so on. It is shown that in the Austrian Empire for the first time the provisions on the legal regulation of intellectual property were provided for in the Civil Code of 1811 (Articles 1164‒1170). The author shows that the Austrian legal acts of 1846 for the first time regulated the free use of works, including the right of translation, citation. According to the law of 1846, the artist had to reserve the right of reproduction and exercise it for 2 years under the threat of losing his rights. It is emphasized that the presence of Western Ukrainian lands in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, in comparison with the previous period of the Commonwealth, contributed to the spiritual progress of the Ukrainian nation, intensified cultural and artistic processes in Ukrainian lands. The author reveals that an important and new normative act in the field of intellectual property regulation was the Austrian Copyright Act for works of literature, art and photography, adopted on December 26, 1895. Attention is focused on the fact that the development of industrial property rights was carried out under the influence of economic development, which in the western Ukrainian lands as part of Austria was slower than in the economically developed regions of Austria, and thus - Austria-Hungary. It is concluded that the development of legal regulation of intellectual property in Galicia as part of Austria and Austria-Hungary (1772-1918) formed a certain experience, which was characterized by the specification of objects, subjects, the definition of intellectual property, the consolidation of copyright and their defense in court.

Systematic updating of the civil legislation of Ukraine and modernisation of the civil legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan are time-consuming tasks as evidenced by the analysis of changes that were made to the civil codes of Ukraine and the Republic of Kazakhstan and their law enforcement practice. Work on updating civil legislation requires an assessment of the current state and prospects of socio-economic development of Ukrainian society and the state, in particular the development of such an important component as the national legal system, which is presented in the concept of updating the Civil Code of Ukraine. It is crucial that the main areas of the concept orient the development of civil law in Ukraine, considering the current experience of recodification of civil codes of other states within the continental legal family. Considering that civil legislation is also being modernised in the Republic of Kazakhstan, the purpose of this study is to compare the main ideas of recodification of the Civil Code of Ukraine and modernisation of the Civil Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan to establish a systematic approach and a unified concept for the development of civil law and form a clear guideline for the improvement of civil legislation. The study analyses the areas of updating the civil legislation of Ukraine and the Republic of Kazakhstan based on both general (historical, comparative, system analysis) and special (specific-sociological, formal legal, legal-technical, etc.) methods. One of the most reasonable ways to ensure continuity of legal regulation of civil relations and ensure the modernisation of the legal basis for the development of the sphere of social and legal relations in the long term is the approach that should preserve all the achievements of existing civil codes, considering modern European approaches and the specific features of civil and business turnover

Settlement agreements in civil and arbitration proceedings are one of the most convenient and effective ways to resolve disputes arising between participants in civil legal relations. At the same time, within the framework of some civil disputes, the content of settlement agreements has significant specificity, and sometimes – due to the peculiarities of the subject composition and the merits of the case – they cannot be applied at all for the purpose of reconciling the parties. An example of such disputes are cases related to the recognition of the transaction as invalid and the application of the consequences of the invalidity of the transaction, the legal regulation of which is unique. The economic reasons for the invalidity of transactions predetermine the peculiarities of the content of settlement agreements in the relevant category of cases, limiting it exclusively to the procedure for fulfilling restorative obligations and obligations to compensate for losses. This circumstance is due to the fact that, from the point of view of the dynamics of civil legal relations, an invalid transaction introduces uncertainty in the ownership of property and the distribution of rights and obligations of the participants in legal relations, which can be eliminated only by restoring the situation that existed before the conclusion and execution of the transaction with a defect. The current civil law regulation in this part (Article 4311 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), which allows the conclusion of analogues of amicable agreements in cases of invalidity of transactions involving other, in addition to restitution, the consequences of the invalidity of transactions, in this regard, cannot be recognized as satisfactory. Contestation of the transaction by “another person specified in the law” (Article 166 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), as well as in the interests of third parties by specially authorized entities (procedural plaintiffs), the possibility of participation in a completed and executed transaction of public law entities determine the raising of questions about the possibility of concluding amicable agreements by these entities. It is noted that these subjects, as follows from the analysis of domestic civil, civil procedural, administrative and family legislation, being interested in resolving the case on recognizing the transaction as invalid and on the application of the consequences of its invalidity, do not participate in its execution, and therefore cannot determine the procedure for the fulfillment of obligations arising from it.
