The article researches the peculiarities of return of court fees in connection with the completion of a civil case without a court judgement in the form of leaving the application without consideration of legal regulation, analyzes the issues of this institute in judicial practice, and provides suggestions for improving its legal regulation. Attention has been drawn to the fact that since the court fee is one of the basic categories of access to justice, and therefore an element of the right of a person to judicial protection enjoyment, and the need to ensure the balance of interests of the state and the individual in regulating the legal basis of court fees payment, the grounds for the application of this procedural institute must be exhaustive and may not be subject to extended interpretation. Based on the comparative analysis of the legal regulation of the return of court fees institute, and in particular the legislative regulation of such grounds for its application as completion of civil proceedings without a court judgement in the form of leaving the application without consideration, it was found a legislative tendency to reduce the list of the very grounds for leaving the application without consideration, with the use of which the return of court fees is allowed. Examples of jurisprudence in the field of application of each ground of leaving the application without consideration through the prism of the institute of return of court fees have been given. Attention has been drawn to the fact that although in the process of amending the civil procedural legislation, which took place with the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to the Commercial Procedural Code of Ukraine, Civil Procedural Code of Ukraine, Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine and other legislative acts", such grounds as leaving by the plaintiff (his/her representative) of the courtroom was removed from the "general list" of grounds for leaving the application without consideration under Part 1 of Art. 257 CPC of Ukraine, it still exists, because it was left by the legislator in the article governing the consequences of non-appearance at the hearing of the parties (Part 6 of Art. 223 CPC of Ukraine). It has been constituted that item 4 of Part 1 Art. 7 of the Law of Ukraine "On Court Fees" provides the opportunity to return the court fee in case of completion of a civil case without a court judgement in the form of leaving the application without consideration on all grounds except those that constitute exceptions by law, and in particular the grounds established by items 3, 5 and 9 of Part 1 Art. 257 CPC of Ukraine, as well as Part 6 of Art. 223 CPC of Ukraine.

The authors point to the plurality of forms of consumer protection. Private law form of consumer protection is individual protection in civil proceedings. The protection of the collective interests of consumers in most European legal systems is achieved through litigation. The Consumer Protection Act entrusts the protection of the collective interests of consumers to administrative bodies, which is realized in administrative proceedings, whose rules are characterized by considerable differences in relation to the rules provided by the Law on General Administrative Procedure. A significant unit is dedicated to the mechanism of alternative dispute resolution, especially arbitration and mediation. The shortcomings of the Law on Consumer Protection regarding certain contradictory provisions are pointed out. The legislator stimulates alternative dispute resolution, and on the other hand stipulates that contracting one of these methods does not affect the right to judicial protection. The paper also analyses the inspection.

Right Of Access

The paper examines the right of access to justice through the lens of domestic and European experience. The purpose of the study is to improve the theoretical and legal provisions of the content of the right of access to justice based on European experience, the formation of its modern concept, including the construction of proposals for defining this concept in the domestic doctrine of the judiciary. The methodological basis of the study comprises a set of methods that have been comprehensively used to achieve the purposes of this paper: the study of the legal nature of the right of access to justice, the establishment of its structural elements, the formulation of conclusions and proposals for the implementation of European Court of Human Rights standards in Ukrainian legislation was carried out with the use of system-structural and Aristotelian methods. It is noted that the access to justice is the availability, legal consolidation, and direct functioning of guarantees stipulated by law, which allow everyone to freely exercise their right to judicial protection and restoration of the violated right. It is concluded that the right to judicial protection cannot be exercised without a mechanism of access to justice and legal regulation. Ukraine, as a full subject of international law, must guarantee, based on universal standards, the personal right of every individual to free access to justice. However, identification of the social nature of the right of access to justice, for any state, including Ukraine, means an assertion of a fairly wide margin of appreciation both upon specifying forms of support for citizens to exercise the right, and upon determining the categories of citizens who need such support. This obliges the legislator to respect the constitutional principles of justice, equality, proportionality, as well as stability and guarantee of human and civil rights in Ukraine.

The right to go to court, including administrative, is one of the most important rights of citizens guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine. In addition to the general constitutional right to judicial protection, in particular, Art. 7 of the Law of Ukraine «On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges» of 02.06.2016 № 1402-VIII, guarantees everyone the protection of his rights, freedoms and interests within a reasonable time by an independent, impartial and fair court established by law. Foreigners, stateless persons and foreign legal entities have the right to judicial protection in Ukraine on an equal footing with citizens and legal entities of Ukraine. Access to justice for every person is ensured in accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine and in the manner prescribed by the laws of Ukraine. However, along with the guaranteed right to apply to the court of foreigners, stateless persons (refugees, migrants, immigrants), such a category of subjects of administrative proceedings as apartheid remained outside the scope of domestic law. In order to eliminate the shortcomings of the legislative regulation of the legal status of apartheid in Ukraine, the author came to the conclusion that it is necessary to eliminate the existing shortcoming by amending the Law of Ukraine «On Legal Status of Foreigners and Stateless Persons» of 22.09.2011 № 3773-V.

The author of the article emphasizes the lack of regulation of the issue about the scope of the inalienable personal procedural rights of suspects and accused (defendants) within national criminal procedural legislation. The implementation of these rights can not be entrusted to other persons, in particular, their defense attorneys, legal representatives. Such procedural rights are called undelegated, since they are exercised directly by suspects and accused (defendants). Special attention is paid to the fact that such a gap in the law can not negatively affect the legal regulation of the procedural status of both suspects, accused (defendants), and other participants in the criminal proceedings, to whom the legislator delegates the rights of the latter, namely: a defense attorney, a legal representative, persons in respect of whom it is supposed to use coercive measures of a medical or educational nature or there was the issue about their application, their legal representatives. It is stated that there are no studies in modern procedural science, containing a close to exhaustive list of undelegated procedural rights of suspects and accused (defendants). We set the goal to single out a group of inalienable personal rights of suspects and accused (defendants) within the totality of their procedural rights that are exercised solely by them and can not be delegated to other participants in the criminal proceedings. The group of the above procedural rights includes such rights of suspects, accused (defendants) as: to be clearly and timely informed about their rights provided by the Criminal Procedural Code, as well as to obtain their explanation; to waive the right to counsel at any time of criminal proceedings; do not say anything on the merits of suspicion, accusations against them or at any time refuse to answer questions; to give explanations, testimonies in terms of suspicion, accusations or to refuse at any time to provide them; to demand compensation for damage caused by unlawful decisions, actions or omission of the agency involved in carrying out operative and search activities, pre-trial investigation, of a prosecutor’s office or courts, in the manner prescribed by the law, as well as restoration of reputation in case if suspicion, charge have not been confirmed; to conclude a guilty plea agreement or a reconciliation agreement with the victim. The procedural right of a suspect to state his testimony during the interrogation with his own hand is undelegated one. As for an accused (defendant), he can not delegate other participants in the criminal proceedings to exercise his right to receive clarification on the procedure for the preparation and use of the pre-trial report, refuse to participate in the preparation of the pre-trial report; to participate in the preparation of the pre-trial report, to provide information to the representative of the probation authority for the preparation of such a report, to submit own comments and clarifications. The author has grounded the purpose of the indicated procedural rights of suspects and accused (defendants).

The article is devoted to the issue of theoretical and practical problems of inconsistency of criteria in determining the jurisdictions of administrative and commercial courts. Article 124 of the Constitution of Ukraine emphasizes that the jurisdiction of courts extends to any legal dispute. According to Article 18 of the Law of Ukraine "On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges", courts specialize in civil, criminal, commercial, administrative cases, as well as cases of administrative offenses. The adoption and entry into force of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Procedure in 2005 became especially relevant in resolving the issue of jurisdiction of cases involving the subject of power, and hence the separation of civil, commercial, in some cases even criminal from administrative jurisdictions has become problematic in some cases. In addition, judicial reforms, which have been and continue to be an attempt to bring the judiciary into line with European standards, have amended the Constitution of Ukraine, as well as various pieces of procedural law. Today, there are problems with a single approach to determining administrative jurisdiction. Such ambiguous issues can further lead to violations of constitutional human rights, such as the right to a fair trial within a reasonable time by an independent and impartial tribunal established by law. After all, in practice there are often cases when judges refuse to initiate proceedings on the grounds that a particular dispute belongs to the jurisdiction of another court or cases where several judges are hearing homogeneous cases, which will indicate the imperfection of the law and the need for more accurate regulation of legislative norms. Despite the different approaches to the theoretical analysis of this issue and the diversity of opinions, the only thing that remains is that the problems of delimitation of jurisdictions lead to human rights violations, and therefore there is an urgent need to improve legislation. It should be noted that the issue of delimitation of cases between administrative and commercial courts in determining the rules of jurisdiction of cases repeatedly arises when appealing the decisions of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine. The topic of delimitation of jurisdictions in resolving public law disputes is extremely relevant and important, because the wrong delimitation of jurisdictions can and does lead to violations. There are quite significant problems of delimitation of jurisdictions based on the criteria specified in both the the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Procedure and the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine, because they do not correspond to each other and do not agree with each other. Since such criteria are not decisive in distinguishing disputes, this is a practical problem not only for participants in public disputes, but also for judges. Such uncertainty leads to a violation of convention rights, including the right to judicial protection. After all, each part of the judicial system must be defined and effectively conduct proceedings within a particular court.That is why it determines the actual study of this issue.

Introduction. Adoption of new laws of civil and substantive law, the novelty of legal relations governed by the rules of these laws, the complexity of civil conflicts arising from these legal relations, require a high level of legal protection, compliance with the rule of law by all members of society. Only the law allows interested parties to choose the form of protection. This form can be traditional – jurisdictional (provides for the establishment of a body and procedure for the protection of violated rights), and non-jurisdictional (but certainly allowed by law), which may resort to interested parties. obstacle to the exercise of the right. Resolution of legal conflicts is possible not only through a jurisdictional form of protection. A non-jurisdictional form of protection of civil rights is the independent protection of a person of his violated rights. That is, the person does not apply to the competent state authorities. In fact, it is the commission of actual actions aimed at protecting and securing their personal property and other non-property rights. The purpose of the paper is a thorough study of models of non-jurisdictional protection of property rights in the system of protection of civil rights by analyzing the theoretical and practical aspects of using alternative methods of protection of private rights in general and mediation. Result. It is determined that the non-jurisdictional form of protection of civil rights is the actions of citizens and organizations aimed at protecting their own civil rights, freedoms, and legally protected interests. It is noted that these actions are carried out and implemented by eligible entities independently, without seeking legal assistance from government agencies and structures, as well as officials. It is determined that the mechanism of legal protection is implemented in non-jurisdictional ways in the field of legal regulation when it is necessary to overcome and eliminate obstacles that arise in the exercise of rights and legitimate interests of the subject of law, in other words – to quickly protect (ensure) legal status. It is determined that in international practice, namely in European countries, the basis of non-jurisdictional protection of property rights is mainly in the use of negotiation and mediation procedures. Non-jurisdictional form, which is usually local in nature, is achieved as a result of actual actions, occurs not in jurisdictional or procedural forms, but within the protected substantive legal relations, which are the subjects of such legal relations (usually imply The main difference between jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional forms of protection of rights is that the protection of rights in jurisdictional form is carried out by the competent state and public authorities with each of them a certain procedural order of activity, while protection in a non-jurisdictional form takes place within the framework of a substantive legal relationship and is carried out by the parties themselves in the legal relationship. Conclusion. The study proves that in Ukraine, priority should be given to the development of various forms of out-of-court dispute resolution. The basis for this should be the legislative consolidation of out-of-court settlement of civil disputes as one of the basic principles of protection of violated private rights (of course, without revoking or replacing the right to judicial protection). Non-jurisdictional methods of protection of private rights are defined in the legislation of Ukraine and can be used due to the dispositive nature of the civil law method of regulation. However, this is insufficient, as participants in civil legal relations in case of violation of their rights are primarily confronted in the law with a defined right to judicial protection of violated rights, and often consider the court as the only possible form of protection.

This article presents a comparative analysis of the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine and the Law of Ukraine “On Court Fees”.The author emphasizes that the Constitution of Ukraine establishes an axiological basis for the legal regulation of the court fees and, at the same time, defines the relevant categories of cases, access to judicial protection in which should not be the subject to significant restrictions or should not be limited at all, namely in the cases of: challenging the decisions, actions or omissions of public authorities, local governments and officials; protection of the right to own property; protection of honour and dignity and business reputation; free access to the information about the state of the environment, the quality of food and household items, and others. The court fee in the constitutional justice is also singled out, which is substantiated by the special procedural and essential nature of the constitutional complaint. The author disputes the possibility of implementation of the court fee for filing a constitutional complaint, the doubtfulness of which is explained by the normative form of the constitutional complaint that does not provide a direct review of the court decision. Emphasis is placed on the provisions of the Constitution, which support the need to reform the existing concept of regulation of court fees, in particular the change in access to appeals and cassation appeals from progressive to the regressive court fee rate. It is emphasized that the Law of Ukraine “On Court Fees” does not fully comply with the Constitution of Ukraine. It is concluded that the Constitution of Ukraine provides the individualization of the amount of court fees that should depend on the stage of the proceedings, the category of the case, and the relevant range of entities that should be exempt from the court fees.

The institute of administrative contract was mentioned for the first time in the legislation of our country in the Preliminary Draft to the Law on Amandments of the Law on Administrative Procedure of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 2012. Although insufficiently, the first step is made towards fullfillment of the reform requirements in the area of admisitrative procedure on the way to the European integration and in accordance with the changed role of administration and the need for improvement of cooperation between the administration and citizens, or legal entities. In Bosnia and Herzegovina there is still no general legal regulation of administrative contracts, but administrative contracts are subjects to specific laws and as such already exist in the legal system. After some introductory remarks, the paper deals with the concept and characteristics of administrative contracts, and also presents legal regulation of administrative contracts highlighting their specificities and differences in relation to private law contracts. The importance of general legal norm governing administrative contracts is especially emphasized, as well as their importance for reform processes in our country. Accordingly, the importance of introducing a complaint as a legal remedy that a client can use if the public authority fails to meet contractual obligations is pointed out, but also the possibility of judicial protection in case of legal dispute.
