The regulation of the legal nature of an appeal proceeding or a judgment crowning the proceeding is ambiguous and unclear. The National Appeals Chamber which issues a judgment decides upon the validity of a contract, the obligations of the contracting authority, financial penalties, and, indirectly, the actions taken by contractors. The influence of such decisions is of theoretical and practical significance and justifies an analysis presented in the paper. Thus the constitutive features of judgments handed down by a public administration body have been analysed and compared with typical forms of law enforcement (judicial decisions of the common courts, decisions issued by arbitration courts and individual administrative decisions). The latter have been given particular attention. The deliberations were based on the position of the doctrine of the law on public procurements, provisions of civil law and administrative law, as well as judicial decisions and judgments issued by the National Appeals Chamber. These were then analysed in the light of normative regulations of the Act on Public Procurements. The analysis revealed a multitude of problems resulting from the adoption by the legislature of atypical forms of action by the National Board of Appeal. The analysis provides the basis for further research aimed to create a coherent system regulating public procurements to ensure its proper functioning and to reduce the possibility of further interpretative problems.

Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to study the norms of the Anglo-American legal family regarding the сriteria for innocence of the incapacitated subjects of objectively unlawful acts: medical and legal criteria. Methodology. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and a synthesis of available scientific and theoretical information. It is includes the formulation of relevant conclusions and recommendations. Such methods of scientific knowledge were used: terminological, logical-semantic, functional, systemic-structural, comparatively legal. Results: In the course of the study, it was recognized that the law of countries within the Anglo-American legal system was characterized by clear problems with the formulation of both legal and medical criteria of insanity. The main reason for this omission is the application in practice of judicial precedents that have been adopted since the last century. Originality. The study identified a number of shortcomings of the Anglo-American legal family in determining the criteria of insanity, namely: there is no strong-willed character of the legal criterion; their indisputable character makes it impossible to deduce the intermediate states of the human psyche; the circumstances that the crimes may be committed by persons whose “defect of mind” does not take place as a result of mental illness are not taken into account; the burden of proving insanity is transferred to the defendant himself. The medical criterion of insanity in the Anglo-American legal family also raises a number of remarks, the main of which is a fairly extensive list of forms of mental illness and abnormalities, which provokes impunity for potential criminals. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in law-making and enforcement activities in the administration of justice against incapacitated persons.

Purpose. The aim of the article is a comprehensive general theoretical and comparative analysis of the main problems concerning the things in common between the Christian religion and notary service board, clarification of the transformation of religious rules (norms) into notarial activities and notarial procedure. Methodology. The methodology covers a comprehensive analysis and generalization of available scientific and theoretical material and the formation of relevant conclusions and recommendations. The following methods of scientific cognition were used during the research: historical-legal, comparative-legal, functional, system-structural, and logical-normative. Results. In the course of the research, the historical and legal analysis of the main things in common between the Christian religion and notary service board is carried out. Scientific novelty. Having analyzed the main things in common between the Christian religion and the notary service board, the author states that some of the basic principles of Christianity were introduced into notarial activities. In particular, in the Bible we find norms that relate to the basic principles of notarial activities, as well as the rules of the notarial proceedings. Traces of Byzantine norms, which are also based on religious norms concerning the procedure for making wills and certain types of agreements, are also observed in modern civil and notarial procedure, as well as notarial records. However, Ukrainian public and private notaries cannot apply religious norms and documents during the notarial proceedings. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in lawmaking and law enforcement activities during the preparation of normative and legislative acts on the legal regulation of notarial activities.
