Limits of Legal Regulation and Discretion in Law: on the Correlation of Concepts

The author considers the logical connections between the content of the concepts «limits of legal regulation» and «discretion in law» in terms of the ratio of their volume. At the same time, the content of the concepts «legal regulation», «legal impact», «limits of legal regulation» is specified. The features characterizing the limits (scope) of legal regulation are identified: the conscious-volitional nature of social relations; the possibility of external control of public relations by the state; the importance of public relations; the opportunity for subjects of public relations to choose a behavior option, etc. The features of discretion in law are the possibility of implementation only within the framework of the subject of legal regulation; legality; expression in the passive or active behavior of the subject, etc. It is concluded that these concepts are not identical, but rather, are subordinate and are included in the scope of the concept of «legal impact». They are comparable because they have common features (for example, the existence of an authority establishing public relations and being expressed in a legal act), as well as related ones, since their volume partially coincides.

In accordance with Part 2 of Art. 17 of the Constitution of Ukraine, military units, first of all, are the bearers of power and act in public relations as subjects of realization of the goal set by the state in the form of repulse of possible aggression from outside, and therefore the main tasks, internal structure, subordination, reporting and control in this area is governed by constitutional and administrative law. However, in some cases, the military unit for the implementation of its tasks may act as an independent entity in civil law, and therefore, certain relations are governed not only by constitutional, administrative, economic, but also civil law. This paper will deal with contractual obligations. The supply contract is extremely important in providing Ukraine, its subjects and state entities with the necessary goods, performance of works, provision of services. In essence, the institute of contract law is a legal means of implementing state policy in the field of industrial production, construction, national defense, social assistance, science, culture, the implementation of basic social and production tasks. Currently, there is a trend aimed at increasing the budget funds used through public procurement. In this regard, an urgent problem is the effective legal regulation of public relations related to the supply of goods for public use. The regulatory framework governing these legal relations must be transparent, understandable to all participants in trade and procurement operations, operational on changes in socio-economic conditions in the country, have an anti-corruption orientation. The quality of goods purchased for the state also remains a long-standing problem. One of the topical issues for the science of civil law is the question of the subject of the contract, with which the Central Committee of Ukraine connects the conclusion of the contract, its validity and some other significant circumstances. According to case law, disputes arising from the contract are usually complicated by non-compliance by the parties with the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine on the subject of the contract. The article analyzes the subject of the contract for the supply of material resources to military units. Military units are considered by the author as legal entities of a subject of public law.

It is noted that an important quality of legal regulation should be the effectiveness of the method and means chosen by the state to promote the achievement of the planned socio-economic result. Despite the fact that some principles of normative project work have been covered at the legislative level (in particular, on the example of legislation in the field of regulatory policy), the practice of adopting normative legal acts the effectiveness of which remains questionable continues. One of the reasons for this state of legal regulation of social relations is the improper consideration, and sometimes conscious disregard for theoretical and applied constructions that have been substantiated within the framework of legal and economic science. As a result, this leads to the establishment of an unjust order in a certain area of public relations, which threatens the further sustainable development of the state. In view of this, attention is focused on the defects of the implementation of legal principles, especially the principle of the rule of law, in the field of legal regulation of economic relations, which leads to the imaginary effectiveness of the relevant legal acts. It is proved that the effectiveness of legal regulation of public relations will be evidenced not only by the rate of achievement of the expected result at the expense of the minimum necessary resources of economic entities, citizens and the state (i.e. the economic criterion), but also the degree of compliance with the rule of law, which will allow to talk about promoting the adoption by a legal act of the ideology of justice. Based on the analysis of some examples of legislative practice in the field of taxation, it is established that the adoption of regulations contrary to the rule of law has led to the direction of tax policy to achieve socio-economic results that contradict the principles of tax policy as a type of economic policyand principles of social policy of the state in terms of income redistribution set out in strategic documents.

The authir has carried out theoretical study of the current state of regulation of the rehabilitation institution in criminal proceedings of Ukraine, the immediate task of which is to protect human and civil rights and freedoms within relations between the state and an individual. Numerous appeals to the ECHR by citizens of Ukraine, who have been illegally or unjustifiably prosecuted, as well as the existence of decisions in their favor indicate on the shortcomings of this institution. The essence of the term of “rehabilitation” and its normative enshrinment in legislative acts at some historical stages of the world community development has been studied. It has been established that it was first used in medieval France to denote the pardon of a convict with the restoration of all his former rights. However, due to the development of social relations and a radical change in society’s attitude to sentencing, the concept of “rehabilitation” has become much broader than the original definition. Based on the detailed analysis of theoretical developments of leading scholars, international and legal acts, criminal procedural legislation of Ukraine, some countries of the European Union and the post-Soviet space, special attention has been focused on significant shortcomings of legal regulation of the specified area of public relations in Ukraine. The author has suggested own vision of the concept of “rehabilitation”. The author has offered to reffer it to the tasks of criminal proceedings stipulated by the provisions of the Art. 2 of the Criminal Procedura; Code of Ukraine. Besides, special attention has been paid to the fact that a rehabilitated person, in addition to compensation for damages and restoration of violated rights, must receive an official apology on behalf of the state for unjustified or illegal prosecution.

The article is devoted to the study of the structure of the normative element of the mechanism of legal regulation of social relations. The mechanism of legal regulation of relations is considered as a system of legal means, methods and forms which regulate social relations. At the same time, under current conditions of the society development such regulation is achieved with minimal normative of the state. Scientists claim the variability of the normative element of the mechanism of legal regulation of social relations. The normative regulator is not the only way of influence on the subject’s assessment of abilities in the social environment. The abovementioned is manifested in the field of relations free of the state imperative pressure – relations, which formation is conditioned by the sphere of a person’s private life. Legal regulation of social relations in this field is achieved through the mediation of other regulators which have a common nature with the legal norm but a subjective limitation of their obligation. Variability of the parameters making their content and essence may not always be fit into previously established normative regulators. Therefore, the legal norm may not regulate certain types of social relations. Moreover, the disposition of legal norms may not even meet the real needs of the subjects of a particular relationship. Or vice versa, a legal norm may contain only declarative principles or definitions, complicating the appropriate level of legal regulation of relations. It is proved that legal norm is not a fundamental element of the mechanism of legal regulation of social relations, through which relations between the society members from the essential field to the real field and formation of corresponding legal relations between them are regulated. Corresponding regulatory influence is provided by other regulators of various legal nature, but of identical axiological significance. The author argues that along with the legal norm the legal means for ensuring the mechanism of legal regulation of public relations include alter-normative regulators (agreement, practice), which represent a mutually agreed formation and further application of a corresponding normative structure to the specific model of behaviour of the participants of legal relations. Besides, over-normative (legal principles) and quasi-normative (judicial acts) regulators are distinguished along with normative and alter-normative regulators. Since regulatory influence on public relations goes beyond the legal norm, the corresponding element of the mechanism of legal regulation requires its structural adjustment. The scientist coins a term a normative construct as set of legal concepts identical to the legal norm for description of an element of the mechanism of legal regulation of social relations Key words: mechanism of legal regulation of social relations, normative construct, agreement, practice, principles of law, legal norm, court decision.

The article focuses on the exploration of philosophical teachings on the concept of «error». Philosophers of antiquity introduced the concept of «natural law», which was formed over the centuries from the human desire to understand the world and to determine our place in society. It was from that time that the concept of human rights gradually began to emerge, and the links between the state and individual and the state and society were established. Error was considered the result of the erroneous course of thought, wrong actions, actions that do not achieve the goal: model of human behavior based on delusions. An error is always aberration: an action opposite of the correct one and committed unintentionally. It always implies illegality. Errors are associated with the wrong course of thought in reasoning, inadequate thinking, misinterpretation and inaccuracy of actions and violation of certain rules. Such fallaciousness of thought and action violates the truth of the substance of thinking and activity and thus leads to various kinds of errors. It should be indicated that the problem of error has an independent meaning in various fields of scientific knowledge:philosophy, logic, mathematics, law, cybernetics, medicine, linguistics, economics, etc. Through the analysis of the concepts and signs of errors provided by the philosophers mentioned in the article we conclude that error should be considered as both process and result of human activity. In addition, the ambiguous positions of modern legal scholars on the semantic meaning of the terms «error» and «legal error» are highlighted, which often leads to inconsistencies in the conceptual apparatus of modern legal theory. They may interpret the concept of «error» as a shortcoming, a flaw, a mistake, a distortion or in a more categorical way: a delusion, an imperfection, an inconsistency or a gap. Particular attention is paid to the causes of legal errors, in particular, it is noted that in modern legal science they are divided into objective errors which do not depend on the will and conscious actions of lawmakers and subjective which is generated through the will of lawmakers, as only professional legal activity and its results may be the potential sources of error. The objective causes of legal errors include the constant development of public relations, as the legislator and other legal bodies and institutions do not always keep up with the demands of life. In turn, subjective factors stem from personal qualities, human behavior and actions. In general, legal scholars define legal error as a negative result caused by unintentional, incorrect action of the subject of legal activity and as various accidental and unintentional actions on the course of the decisions of the subjects of legal relations (legal body or public official), which reflects the flaws of the will of the subject of law in the process of expression of such will, leads to a negative result and can be committed at any stage of legal regulation). Keywords: error, delusion, legal error, erroneous behavior.

The role of legal relations in legal science cannot be overestimated, especially given the expansion of the boundaries of the subject of administrative law, which leads to the need to rethink its content. Legal relations can be defined as a kind of phenomenon that is a sign of a systemic connection and includes law in its subjective and objective sense. This is due to the fact that the law without legal relations loses its practical meaning, even in the case of certain material leverage. An important statement in the context of scientific research is that law is a real element of public life only when its existence is mediated by legal relations. It is clear that the sphere of public and law relations is much narrower in terms of the volume of social relations in general, which are due to the presence of phenomena that, crystallizing through the prism of legal regulation, acquire legal consolidation and significance. Analysing social relations (individual phenomena, institutions), scientists automatically transfer them to the legal plane. In this case, it is not possible to state the equal importance of social relations and law in legal relations, because the first will fill the legal gaps that will be the cornerstone of their order, and the conceptual apparatus of such a system will have to affect the legal form of law enforcement or vice versa. The reflexivity of a person’s perception of social norms expressed in the balance of social relations and law in legal relations can be established only by analysing not only legal norms but also social relations, which they organize in a “volumetric” sense. It is clear that such a process should not turn into a mechanical increase in legal regulation, but take into account the peculiarities of social relations, which, in fact, indicate anthropocentrism rather than the fact of priority or importance for the state as a subject (participant). In this context, it should be noted that today it is extremely difficult to determine which relations are most important for the state; moreover, the balance of human-centrism seems unclear, because without the participation of public authorities in the declared “self-regulation” to reach any “stability” whether it is impossible to overcome the negative phenomena. Methodology. The solution of the tasks is carried out using the cognitive potential of the system of philosophical, general scientific and special methods. Constitutionalism and synthesis allowed to define attributes and essence of the concept of “public law relations” and create this and other concepts. Using the form of analysis – systematization – the problems of classification of disputes in the field of public relations are identified, which are resolved by administrative courts. The structural and functional method is used during the characterization of public and law relations as a sign of a dispute, which is resolved in administrative proceedings and the study of the structure of the judicial administrative process. Methods of linguistic analysis and interpretation of legal norms helped identify gaps and other shortcomings in the legislation, develop proposals for its improvement.
