Basic Consumer

Abstract. The liability of an entrepreneur towards a consumer is the specific kind of contractual responsibility. The typical feature of this regime is weakness of two principles that are basic for market economy: freedom of contracts and pacta sunt servanda principle. This liability is regulated by specific acts of law. Its object is to intensify the legal protection of the consumer. Nowadays in the Polish law, the form of legal provisions concerning pro- tection of the consumer, is influenced by European Union law, especially con- sumerist directives. The Act on specific terms and conditions of consumer sale, on 27th July 2002, has huge practical significance. The basic premise of this lia- bility is the fact of ’nonconformity of goods with the contract’. Therefore there is no need to prove any damage and other premises inseparably connected with damage liability. Moreover, it must be noticed that normally specific acts of law concerning protection of the consumer, do not entirely realize the compensatory function which is typical of general principles of contractual responsibility.

For many years – equally on a global scale, at the European level as well as in Poland – necessary actions have been taken aimed at creating an effective legal framework for nature protection. Nature is protected under international law, European Union law and Polish law. The acts of European law which should be pointed out from the perspective of this article (besides the EU Treaties) are the so-called Birds Directive and Habitats Directive. The Polish Constitution of 2 April 1997 stipulates that the Republic of Poland shall protect the national heritage and ensure environmental protection guided by the principle of sustainable development. In the domestic Polish law, the Act of 16 April 2004 on nature protection constitutes the basic legal act of a statutory rank defining objectives, principles and forms of protection of living and inanimate nature and landscape. The aim of this analysis of selected legal provisions regulating the functioning of national parks in Poland is an attempt to assess whether the existing law effectively protects nature, or whether it is rather a set of demands that are difficult or impossible to implement. This matter is crucial for the existence of such unique areas as the Ojcow National Park. The answer to the question whether the national park – as a form of nature protection – is protected in Poland in an effective way is ambiguous, which is illustrated by numerous examples, several of which are indicated in this article.

A NOTARY AS A LEGAL PROTECTION AUTHORITY UNDER THE POLISH LAW AND THE EUROPEAN UNION LAWThe paper aims to examine the role of a notary as a legal protection authority in Polish and European Union law systems. The European Union Regulation on Succession has changed the existing role of a notary. It has established the new institution of legal protection — a European Certificate of Succession. The competence to issue a European Certificate of Succession has been entrusted to the notaries beside the courts. This new notarial action has direct effect in the other Member States of the European Union. The scope of legal protection exercised by a notary went beyond national borders and its role has become cross-border.

AbstractThe legal relationship that arises in the sale and purchase utilization of houses between consumers and developers not only takes place due to an agreement (binding sale and purchase agreement), but also arises because of the provisions of the law (legal engagement relationship). The legal relationship takes place at each transaction process/stage, both the pre-transaction stage, the transaction stage and the post/transactional stage. The legal relationship takes place at every transaction process/stage, so that legal protection must also be obtained by each consumer in each transaction stage. Legal protection for consumer rights in the process of buying and selling stages and ownership of residential houses has been regulated and stated in various legal provisions and legislation consisting of the Civil Code, Law number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, Law number 4 of 1992 concerning Housing and Settlements, and Law Number 18 of 1999 concerning Construction Services. To realize consumer protection is carried out as a joint effort based on the principle of benefits, the principle of justice, the principle of balance, the principle of security and the principle of legal certainty.Keywords: Consumer Protection, Legal Relationship, Sale and Purchase.AbstrakHubungan hukum yang timbul dalam jual beli dan pemanfaatan rumah  antara konsumen dan developer tidak hanya berlangsung karena adanya perjanjian (perjanjian pengikatan jual beli) semata, tetapi juga timbul karena ketentuan undang-undang (hubungan hukum perikatan).

Ticket Prices

Competition encourages companies to provide attractive offers such as promo ticket prices to giving free seats. However, many airline companies, who only want to achieve their profit targets, are willing to put aside their responsibilities and consumer rights; one of which is the delay of a flight ticket refund due to the cancellation of the flight by the airline unilaterally. This study aims to determine the form of legal protection for consumers who experience delays in paying Refund funds by airlines and to find out the forms of airline responsibility for Refund funds and settlement efforts in case of disputes. This type of research is normative juridical with a statutory approach presented in the form of legal interpretation. The results showed that the cancellation of flight schedules by airlines was not regulated in Law No. 1 of 2009 concerning Aviation, but the provisions can be seen in the Minister of Transportation Regulation Number 77 of 2011 Article 12 paragraphs 1 and 2. Permenhub Number 185 of 2015 also regulates the period of ticket refunds. Refunds can also be added with other compensation as well as Article 1453 of the Civil Code. The time period for the refund process by airlines is generally in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Transportation Number 185 of 2015. Settlement of consumer disputes can be done by 1) Direct compensation for losses; 2) Through BPSK by means of mediation, conciliation and arbitration; 3) Settlement of consumer disputes through litigation.

The digitalization of the economy sector in the industrial revolution 4.0 needs to be approached with a smart attitude so as to not bring loss to both the consumers and the business holders, by transforming the instrument of consumer rights in an updated and a better way. The development of technology has spoiled human beings in all aspects, including in muamalah. like transaction. The society’s rapid consumptive behavior becomes a business opportunity for the investors to invest their capital in the field of trade, which is also rapidly developing. The increasing demand of consumptive products pushes the popularity of online transaction. There exist hundreds of online shops, either official shops or those undergoing transaction through social media. Anyone can be owners of online shops, and the consumers can be adults, teenagers, and even children. This condition causes some problems, such as the misuse of online transaction for deception, offering products which are not the same as the real items, or worse, not sending the products after the consumer has transferred the money. The results show that in online transactions, there are many dishonest sellers who legalize all methods to practice deception, so there needs to be a connection between online transaction and religion with the hope to minimize the chance of harm for both the consumers and the sellers.

The concept of sustainable development is widely used, especially in social, environmental and economic aspects. The principle of sustainable development was derived from the concept of sustainable development, which appears in legal terms at the international, EU, national and local levels. Today, the value of cultural heritage that should be legally protected is indicated. A problematic issue may be the clash in this respect of the public interest related to the protection of heritage with the individual interest, expressed, e.g., in the ownership of cultural heritage designates. During the research, scientific methods that are used in legal sciences were used: theoretical–legal, formal–dogmatic, historical–legal methods, as well as the method of criticism of the literature, and legal inferences were also used. The analyses were carried out on the basis of the interdisciplinary literature on the subject, as well as international, EU and national legal acts—sources of the generally applicable law. Research has shown that the interdisciplinary principle of sustainable development, especially from the perspective of the social and auxiliary environmental aspect, may be the basis for weighing public and individual interests in the area of legal protection of cultural heritage in the European Union. It was also indicated that it is possible in the situation of treating the principle of sustainable development in terms of Dworkin’s “policies” and allows its application not only at the level of European Union law (primary and secondary), but also at the national legal orders of the European Union Member States.

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to analyze the legal and state views of E. Olesnytsky, in particular his assessment of imperial law, as well as practical activities as a lawyer and one of the initiators of the cooperative movement in Galicia in the early twentieth century. Methods. The methodological basis of the study was a set of general scientific, special scientific and philosophical methods, as well as the principles of historicism. The key was the biographical method and the comparative approach, which allowed to reveal the peculiarities of the formation of legal views of E. Olesnytsky. Findings. It is established that through the prism of the analysis of political and legal views of E. Olesnytsky it is possible not only to trace the level of legal culture, social and political activity of the population of Galicia, but also to determine the practical content of imperial legislation. The influence of I. Franko and socialist ideas in general on the legal views of E. Olesnytsky, who was one of the founders of the «Сhasopys Рravnycha», actively analyzed the imperial regional legislation for expediency, rationality and compliance with public interests. This work was key in raising the level of legal culture of the population, and after 1891 it was supplemented by the legal activity of E. Olesnytsky. Among the regional legislation, the lawyer's special attention was drawn to the right of propination, which gave large landowners a monopoly on the production and sale of alcohol. After 1901, E. Olesnytsky focused on the development and popularization of the cooperative movement in Galicia, including the legal protection of producers and sellers of agricultural products. Originality. The directions of E. Olesnytsky's professional and professional interests in the field of economic and financial law of Austria-Hungary, advocacy and organization of the cooperative movement are determined.

This paper is a comprehensive study of the problems of criminal law as a remedy for human rights and freedoms in the modern world. The relevance of this subject lies in the systematic violations of constitutional human rights and freedoms and the inaction of the criminal law in such cases. Nowadays, the criminal law as a remedy for human rights and freedoms in national and international law is described by imperfection in its adaptation to rapidly changing social relations, which, accordingly, leads to problems in their legal protection. There are various reasons for this in the legal sphere, such as gaps in the legal provisions, conflicts of legal regulation and inconsistency of the rules of legislation with existing public relations in the state. All of the above determines the relevance of the subject matter of this study. Thus, the purpose of this study was a comprehensive analysis of theoretical and applied issues relating to the remedies for human rights and legitimate interests against socially dangerous encroachments, and the formulation of scientifically sound proposals for improving the current legislation of Ukraine and the practice of its application in this area. Ultimately, this study identified the legal characteristics of human rights and freedoms at both the national and international levels. The remedies for rights were demonstrated through the lens of criminal law. In addition, the study analysed the forms of implementation of international practice in the national legislation of Ukraine as a remedy for human rights and freedoms in the modern world. The significance of the results of this study was expressed in the further research of related subjects concerning this issue, namely the history of the development of EU criminal law standards and the historical establishment of the concept of human and citizen rights and legitimate interests. Furthermore, the materials of this study can be used in the preparation of educational materials, methodological recommendations, as well as training in various fields of legal science. This, in turn, will allow properly using the criminal law protection of human rights and freedoms without violations on the part of criminal justice bodies

The battle between the recording industry and those illegal sharing music over the Internet has gripped headlines over the last few years like few others related to the digital age. At its core, it is a battle about the meaning of property and thus a battle over the heart of the emerging information economy. This article critically examines the double punch of law and technology – the simultaneous and interwoven deployment of legal and electronic measures to protect digital content – and asks whether it is merely a defense strategy against piracy, as the industry asserts, or rather an attempt to fundamentally redefine the producer-consumer relationship. Based on some initial evidence for the latter proposition, the article analyzes reasons for concern, outlines the current politics of copyright policymaking that have given producers the upper hand, and sketches elements of a strategy to fight music piracy that does not infringe on basic consumer rights.
