That article studies the questions on the legal nature, significance and grounds of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine (hereinafter - CCU) and of doctrinal interpretation as well as their interconnection. The author analyzes the types of interpretation by the subject and notes that among the subjects of the official interpretation the Constitutional Court plays an important role, while for the informal interpretation the doctrinal interpretation is crucial. The paper defines the legal basis for exercising of the right of interpretation by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, as a specific body, which is the latter at national level aimed at exercising exclusive special powers in protecting the rights and fundamental freedoms of human and citizen. It is stated that the CCU is a quasi-legislative body whose acts are binding and have the features of a source of law, the paradigm of its activity is determined, first of all, by the rule of law and then by the supremacy of the Constitution of Ukraine. The article also pays attention to the ratio between the legal positions and decisions of the CCU. The article analyzes the changes of the legislation on the activity of the CCU in the context of reducing the power to interpret laws, limiting it only to the right to interpret the Constitution of Ukraine. The author also emphasizes that as the subject of court interpretation may act a scientist who interprets a certain norm of law and works as a judge of the CCU. In this case, the interpretation is based on the results of a scientific research for a judge. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that judges of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine can to some extent be considered as “subjects of doctrinal interpretation”, especially taking into account the fact that these days there are many legal scientists, scientists with academic degrees and titles working at the posts of judges and performing scientific and judicial activity at the same time. The author also studies certain aspects of the doctrinal interpretation and the definition of its role and significance in the historical aspect on the example of different states. Questions on the ratio between doctrinal and court interpretation are also paid attention by the author. It is noted that, in general, in Ukraine scientific doctrine is not recognized as an official source of law, but at the same time plays an important role in the formation of legal consciousness, worldview and lawmaking. Therefore, it can be noted basing on the results of the analysis of legal norms and court practice, that many doctrinal legal positions over time are reflected both in the rulemaking process and in court decisions, turning into court legal provisions.

The essential features of the preferential right are revealed and the main approaches to understanding its legal nature are considered. According to the first approach, preferential rights are defined as cases when, under all equal conditions, the advantage is granted by law to a specific group of persons with some special characteristics. The second approach does not have a single idea: the authors focus on a certain aspect of preferential rights and propose to understand other preferential rights in the same way. The place of “preferential rights” among other exceptions in the law is determined, the relationship and difference from related legal categories are shown. Based on the results of carried out research, the author's definition of a preferential right is developed as an additional possibility based on the property (corporate) interest of its owner, established by law or contract, to demand from the subject-accomplice in the right or the party in respect of proper behavior in the form of providing advantages over third parties. This right is proposed to be considered an independent subjective right due to the obvious independence of its existence in objective law as a measure of possible behavior defined by law (by contract, constituent document), the presence of a construction corresponding to it of a legal obligation, its own mechanism for the implementation of this right, and for a number of other reasons set out in the work.

The article presents an analysis of some issues of legal discretion. There is no unified approach either to the definition of discretion or to the legal nature of this phenomenon. There are difficulties in the evaluation of the legal discretion in acting legislature. In private law trial discretion comprises codified regulation. This phenomenon is particularly typical in contract law: the court’s assessment of the behavior of participants in contractual relations as lawful or unlawful, abuse of rights, determination of the nature of the legal norms governing contractual relations. The discretionary powers of the court in many respects make it possible to ensure uniformity in the consideration of cases of a certain category, to form judicial practice on the application of the relevant legislation. The main areas of judicial activity in this case are: making the right choice of the rule of law to be applied to qualify the relevant legal relationship, applying the analogy of law and as well as the legal position developed when resolving a certain category of cases.

The article examines the concept and legal nature of amendments to the contract. It is established that this legal phenomenon due to the rapid development of market relations is becoming widespread. The meaning of the concept of «change» and its legal nature are analyzed. An exhaustive list of possible options for exercising the right to amend the contract has been made. According to the results of scientific research of different points of view of civilians of different epochs on the concept of «change of contract terms», the own definition of the mentioned concept is formulated and it is proposed to make appropriate changes to the current Civil Code of Ukraine. After all, the perfect legislative regulation of certain relations begins with the consolidation of their definition, in order to have a common understanding of the concept. In our opinion, the lack of a legislative definition of the term “change of contract terms” is a negative phenomenon, as it leads to unequal understanding of the concept by parties, substitution of concepts, violation of the rights of parties, different case law, which is based on the results of consideration of the category of cases related to amendments to the contract. Therefore, we believe that the CC of Ukraine should be amended by including Article 650 1 «The concept of changing the terms of the contract», by which we mean the process, active behavior of the party (parties), which aims to create new or edit existing terms of the contract to bring it in accordance with certain life circumstances, legal norms, as well as its optimization, the purpose of which is to obtain by the party (parties) a certain positive result of property and / or non-property nature. The implementation of these changes will make it possible to avoid the above-mentioned negative consequences in the future and will ensure the introduction of uniform case law in resolving disputes related to amendments to the contract.

This article is devoted to the theoretical study of the legal regulation of delay interest as a type of civil liability for breach of mo -ne tary obligations under Ukrainian law. It is the contractual sanctions, that are one of the most important parts of the contract as theyinduce the parties to comply with their obligations. In addition, sanctions are of a dual legal nature – they are both means of ensuringthe performance of the obligations and a measure of liability for a dishonest contractor. Liability for breach of monetary obligations ischaracterized by conflicting legal provisions and ambiguous court practice. For example, under the Civil Code of Ukraine delay interestand a penalty are regarded as types of forfeit, while in the Economic Code of Ukraine forfeit is treated as a separate type of sanction.However, in the absence of separate definitions of each sanction in the Economic Code of Ukraine, it is unclear as to the meaningintended by the legislator in particular in the concept of “forfeit”. This situation complicates the understanding of legal concepts andrequires a regulatory specification of such provisions in legislative acts. Based on the theoretical analysis, it is necessary to develop scientificallygrounded proposals and recommendations for improvement of law making and law enforcement activities. The legal characteristicsand peculiarities of the delay interest as a type of civil liability are investigated in the article.As a result of a comparative analysis of the regulations in the Civil Code of Ukraine and the Economic Code of Ukraine, the followingdifferences and contradictions were summarized and noted: a) different approach to the definition of “delay interest”; b) unequalapproach to the question of types of obligations to which delay interest can be applied; c) differences in the calculating of delay interestfor breach of a monetary obligation procedures.In order to effectively resolve disputes, the author notes the need to implement unification of the Civil Code of Ukraine with theEconomic Code of Ukraine at the national level and to establish clear rules for the application of delay interest for non-compliance withmonetary obligations.
