Legal scholars draw close attention to the issue of the content of normal business activities. It is still necessary to take into account not only the already systematized explanations of the higher courts on specific issues in every insolvency case, but also the dynamics of judicial practice and certain aspects of the debtor’s bankruptcy. A topical issue is whether transactions of a bankrupt debtor made during a period of suspicion and in arrears of payment can be classified as transactions concluded in the course of the debtor’s normal business activities. Purpose: to form a judgment on the conditions under which debtor`s transactions made during a period of suspicion and delay of performance may be assimilated by the court to its normal business activities. Methods: the author uses both general scientific methods (system method, empirical method) and special methods (comparative legal method, legal interpretation method). Results: the criteria for understanding transactions made during the period of suspicion and in delay of performance as the debtor’s normal business activities are defined; the importance of the good faith principle of the debtor’ counterparty is determined.

Introduction: claims for recognition of a registered contract as terminated and the right of obligation as absent combine the following features: (1) they are declaratory; (2) belong to the category of negative ones; (3) are not explicitly stated in the law; (4) are recognized by judicial practice; (5) are aimed solely at eliminating legal uncertainty. The unity of features determines the need to analyze these types of claims within a single study. Purpose: to establish the reasons for the occurrence in practice of claims for recognition of a registered contract as terminated and the right of obligation as absent. Methods: general scientific (dialectical) method of cognition of scientific concepts of private law; special scientific methods of cognition: formal-legal method, historical-legal method, method of comparative legal studies, forecasting. Results: the transition of the claim for recognition of the right of obligation as absent to the category of remedies directly referred to in acts of official interpretation of law entails great risks. As soon as the emerging practice is recorded in an act of interpretation, the following will happen. Firstly, the number of cases of its use in practice will be likely to increase, which will entail an increased burden on courts. Secondly, there will appear the prerequisites for the full formal legalization of the phenomenon, as has already happened with the recognition of a contract as not concluded and the recognition of the right to a thing as absent. Should there be no registration actions in the Russian legal system, there would not be so many claims of a negative legal nature recognized by practice, including the claim for the recognition of a registered contract as terminated. Protective legal rules aimed at regulating claim-based relations that have the purpose of ensuring a more stable existence of regulatory relations are often formalized in the law, being widely applied in practice by the time changes are introduced into the law.

Introduction: the paper discusses the possibility of differentiating the forms of criminal prosecution. The critical analysis is subject to the widespread position in the science of criminal procedure that the forms of criminal prosecution are suspicion and accusation. This point of view is based on the conclusion that the content of criminal prosecution varies depending on the degree of proof of the guilt of the person subject to criminal prosecution. Concerning compliance with the principle of adversarial parties, the theoretical position is also evaluated, according to which one of the forms of criminal prosecution is conviction. The question of the grounds for differentiating the forms of criminal prosecution is studied. Purpose: the confirming the unified nature of the criminal prosecution carried out during the pretrial proceedings, regardless of the procedural position of the person accused of committing the crime. Methods: the paper uses the general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, a systematic approach, as well as specific scientific methods: legal interpretation and logical-legal. The methodological framework was the dialectical method. Results: the study of the common position in the science of criminal procedure, according to which criminal prosecution at different stages of its implementation consistently takes the forms of suspicion and accusation, showed its inconsistency. From the standpoint of philosophy, the content always has a determining value, and the form is always determined. Accordingly, to establish a change in the form of criminal prosecution, it is necessary to make sure that the content of this activity changes. However, the degree of proof of the person’s involvement in the crime is not reflected in the content of the accusatory activity, it remains the same. Therefore, suspicion and accusation do not form the independent forms of criminal prosecution. At the same time, the differentiation of the forms of criminal prosecution is possible, but on different grounds. Conclusions: the differentiation of the forms of criminal prosecution should be made depending on, first, the organization of procedural activities that determine the role and powers of the subject of criminal prosecution in the process of proof; secondly, the procedural status of the participant in the criminal process on the part of the prosecution and, thirdly, the content of the fact in issue.

The author considers the problem of placing buildings, structures and other objects in zones with special conditions for the use of territories in violation of the restrictions on the use of land plots established by law. Until August 2018, this issue was not regulated in the legislation, as well as the legal regime of protected zones and other zones with special conditions for the use of territories was not properly regulated. At the same time, the judicial practice on disputes over the demolition of these objects was not uniform. In connection with the adoption (in August 2018) of legislative acts affecting both the legal regulation of unauthorized buildings and regulation of the legal regime of zones with special conditions for the use of territories, the work makes attempts to analyze the current legislation, the main positions of the courts and understand the reasons that caused the adoption of new legislative acts. The author comes to the conclusion that at present the legal fate of objects located in zones with special conditions for the use of territories in violation of the restrictions established for land plots depends on a number of circumstances identified by the judicial authorities when considering disputes and having been enshrined in the norms of law. The methodological basis of the research is made up of general scientific (in particular, logical) and special legal (formal legal) methods of scientific knowledge. The logical method (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, analogy, etc.) made it possible to identify various legal grounds for the demolition of objects built in zones with special conditions for the use of territories in violation of the established restrictions. With the help of the formal legal method, the court practice of the applying the norms of civil legislation on unauthorized constructions in relation to the placement of objects in zones with special conditions for the use of territories was analyzed.

The purpose of the article is to study the legal nature and essence of the categories of reasonableness and good faith in the field of private law regulation in the legislation of modern Russia. The methodological basis of the research was the general scientific dialectical method of cognition and the private scientific methods that follow from it: system-structural, concrete-sociological, technical-legal, historical-legal, and comparative legal methods. Their application allowed the authors of the article to study the objects under consideration in their interrelation, integrity, comprehensively and objectively. The article concludes that good faith is essential in filling the gaps in the legislation. It is not always possible to establish a single rule, to approve a norm that excludes unfair conduct. The gaps are not only due to legislative errors. Two factors have an important impact: the diversity of relations and their constant development in different areas (for example, e-commerce, financial markets).

The purpose of the article is to systematize the scientific achievements of Ukrainian researchers in the field of modern hotel and restaurant complexes with an emphasis on the socio-cultural component of their service. The methodology is based on general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and the principles of objective analysis of facts and reliability. Content analysis of the scientific literature made it possible to solve the main research problem. Structural-system method - to systematize the obtained results. The interdisciplinary of scientific methodology has prompted the use of methods integrated from a number of disciplines - economics, culturology, art history, and others. The scientific novelty lies in the identification, analysis and systematization of dissertation research of Ukrainian scientists in the field of modern hotel and restaurant complexes with an emphasis on cultural and leisure and recreational and relaxation component of their service. Conclusions. In Ukrainian science, attempts to study the cultural and leisure and recreational and relaxation component of the service of hotel and restaurant complexes are embodied only in some publications. At the same time, science only affirms the complex concept of "hotel and restaurant" complex. The activities of the latter, as centers of culture and leisure, remain on the margins of modern research interest. As an important component of modern service, socio-cultural activities are usually reduced to logistical and sectorial production aspects. However, the cultural and leisure and recreational component of modern complexes affects the transformation of the traditional basis of society, which indicates its focus on meeting the needs and interests of man, which best characterizes its compliance with the requirements of the time, focused on humanizing all realities of life.
