The aim: To propose effective jurisdictional methods in the field of legal regulation of surrogacy and ensuring the rights of surrogate mothers in the EU. Materials and methods: The research is based on international documents in the field of surrogacy, Ukrainian legislation, decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, scientists' works in the field of legal regulation of surrogacy, etc. General scientific methods (synthesis, induction, system method) and specific scientific methods (comparative legal and special legal methods) are used. Conclusions: The study found that today some issues related to the surrogacy legal nature, conditions and procedure for its implementation remain out of the EU's attention. It is established that the adoption of a separate regional (within the EU) legal act will fully solve the existing problems, ensuring the effectiveness and transparency of surrogacy, will unify the medical tourism's mechanisms in the field of surrogacy. The authors have developed and proposed to enshrine the main provisions on surrogacy in the EU Regulation / Directive.

Introduction: modern legal science is faced with the task of developing the concept of an agreement on the elimination of contractual civil liability: determining its legal nature, scope and conditions for its implementation. For this purpose, the authors of the paper attempt to model the theoretical and legal basis of the agreement on the elimination of contractual liability of the debtor for non-performance, improper performance of its obligations. Using the general scientific methods – synthesis, analysis, comparative and dialectical methods, as well as the specific scientific methods of cognition, in particular, formal-legal, structural-functional and others, the authors determine the legal nature and scope of the agreement on the elimination of contractual liability for violation of a contractual obligation, and examine the practice of such application. Results: it is indicated that within the framework of the agreement on the elimination of contractual liability, it is possible to expand the list of circumstances related to “force majeure”, but taking into account the criterion of the latter: emergency and insurmountability. Conclusions: an agreement to eliminate contractual liability is not possible in contractual obligations involving a weak party, unless it is concluded in its favor. Therefore, the main scope of their application is the obligations related to the implementation of business activities. The possibility of concluding this agreement is a manifestation of the principles of autonomy of will and freedom of contract.

Purpose. In the context of the development of digital technologies, the issue of the existence and legal regulation of digital of financial assets is being updated. In modern legal practice, there is no uniformity in the terminology of these relations, so it is especially important to consider the possibility of using different terms from digital currency to digital rights. The article analyzes various approaches to defining the concept of cryptocurrency offered by specialists working not only in the field of law, but also in economics, since it is important to consider the possibility of reflecting digital assets in accounting. In the course of the research, both General scientific and private scientific methods were used: scientific abstraction, system, logical, analysis and synthesis, comparative legal and formal legal. Conclusions are made that: 1) as a result of numerous discussions about the legal regulation of digital of financial assets, the state has decided on the terminology in these relations; 2) according to the author, the most successful term is the concept of “digital financial assets”, since the term “asset” is used in russian legislation, in particular investment and tax; 3) russian legal practice has used the experience of foreign countries when making changes to existing legislation, in particular in civil, expanding the list of objects of civil legal relations. Scientific and practical significance. This research allows us to critically understand the existing problems of cryptocurrency regulation, as well as contributes to the development of theoretical directions on this topic and the creation of educational materials dedicated to the digital economy.

The purpose of the study is to conduct a general theoretical analysis of scientific approaches to the definition of the concept and essence of the legal regime in order to overcome its narrow industrial understanding and identify the role and significance in the process of legal regulation. General scientific and private scientific methods of knowledge including formal legal and comparative legal methods have been chosen as research methods of this paper. Logical techniques allowing to reveal the essence of legal regimes and formulate the author's definition of them have also been applied. The analysis of scientific works expressing various opinions indicates that at present an instrumental approach to the definition of the concept and essence of the legal regime prevails directly (or indirectly through the procedure of legal regulation) as a set of legal means (instruments). The following are mentioned as signs of the legal regime: mandatory normative legal consolidation (formal legal nature), specific target, special regulatory order based on a combination of legal means and methods of legal regulation, in relation to subjects of law, i.e., in a subjective sense, creating of favorable (or unfavorable) conditions to achieve certain interests, systemic and integrated character of a regime and its special structure. As a result, the author's definition of the legal regime is presented as a special procedure for the legal regulation of public relations, based on a certain combination of legal means and methods of legal regulation (permits, prohibitions, and positive obligations) aimed at achieving the relevant legal goals and planned optimal socially significant result.

Subject. The article considers the concept of circular economy, which has originated relatively recently in the academic literature, and is now increasingly recognized in many countries at the national level. In the European Union, the transition to circular economy is viewed as an opportunity to improve competitiveness of the European Union, protect businesses from resource shortages and fluctuating prices for raw materials and supplies, and a way to increase employment and innovation. Objectives. The aim of the study is to analyze the incentives developed by the European Commission for moving to circular economy, and to assess their effectiveness on the basis of statistical analysis. Methods. I employ general scientific methods of research. Results. The analysis of the EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy enabled to conclude that the results of the recent research in circular economy barriers, eco-innovation, technology and infrastructure were successfully integrated into the framework of this document. Understanding the root causes holding back the circular economy development and the balanced combination of economic and administrative incentives strengthened the Action Plan, and it contributed to the circular economy development in the EU. Conclusions. The measures to stimulate the development of the circular economy proposed in the European Action Plan can be viewed as a prototype for designing similar strategies in other countries, including Russia. Meanwhile, a more detailed analysis of barriers to the circular economy at the level of individual countries and regions is needed.

Every year, the vast majority of countries switch to an online environment. This is especially true for online stores. The subject of this study is the system of consumer protection upon buying goods in online stores and its effectiveness. The purpose is to analyse the state of development of e-commerce in Ukraine and the system of consumer protection upon purchasing goods in online stores. The following general scientific methods were used: classification and theoretical generalisation – to study the theoretical foundations of e-commerce; statistical analysis – to analyse the current state of e-commerce in Ukraine and the consumer protection system. The following results were obtained: based on the analysis of the provisions of current legislation and the experience of foreign countries describing the development of the e-commerce market in Ukraine and the world, the main trends that have developed have been identified, the positive and negative aspects of e-commerce have been identified, as well as the effectiveness of the consumer protection system upon purchasing goods in online stores. It was concluded that the “e-commerce” industry is developing very dynamically. Consumer protection upon purchasing goods through online stores is carried out as with a regular purchase and sale, but it has a number of specific features. To attract potential customers and build their trust, online stores try to post as much information about their products and services as possible on their official websites, including customer reviews. This indicates that the sellers themselves are interested in resolving disputes as soon as possible and preserving their reputation. Taking this into account, it is the improvement of the consumer literacy of citizens, the ability to fully exercise their rights, and to protect their interests in case of certain contradictions that is one of the ways to solve the existing problems

The object of the study is the implementation of equality principle before the law by fixing equal rights and obligations of prisoners in the normative legal acts of the Soviet state. The subject of research: provisions of normative legal acts of the Provisional Government, departmental normative acts of the People’s Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR and People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs of the RSFSR. As a methodological basis for cognition, general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, de-duction are used, which allow us to investigate aspects of legal reality directly related to the implementation of the principles of penal enforcement (correctional labor) legislation, to formulate reasonable conclusions. Private scientific methods: formal-legal and comparative-legal – allow us to identify differences in the legal regulation of the legal status of prisoners in the pre-war period. As a result of the conducted research, we make a reasonable conclusion that the principle of equality before the law, although it was not enshrined in specific norms regulating the procedure for the execution and serving of imprisonment, however, was manifested in the provisions regulating the legal status of persons deprived of liberty. The notions of equality before the law of both citizens in general and prisoners in particular were not the fundamental basis of the legislation of the Soviet State. Prisoners were differentiated on the basis of social affiliation, due to: 1) the principle of class approach proclaimed by the Constitution of the RSFSR; 2) the functioning of two systems of places of deprivation of liberty for prisoners with different social status; 3) regulating the execution (serving) of sentences in the form of deprivation of liberty by various regulatory legal acts.

Regulatory Models

The objective of the article is to analyze the regulation of the legal profession and its global trends. There are many different types of regulators globally, and many different sources and methods of regulation. There is no simple approach to setting goals for regulating the legal profession in different legal systems. Although self-regulation of the legal profession is considered the basis for adhering to the standard of its independence, at the same time, academics recognize the existence of the theory of the management of the legal profession. To study these problems, the authors conducted a comparative study of the regulatory models of the legal profession in the world in terms of compliance with international standards of legal independence in different legal jurisdictions and made some suggestions to improve the legal regulation of the legal profession in Ukraine. Empirical sources for scientific research were international documents, court decisions, national legislation of Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Ireland, Scotland, Australia and others, and the work of scientists. The article uses general scientific methods - dialectic, analysis, synthesis, analogy, etc., and special methods, particularly legal, historical, and formal comparative law.

The article deals with the problematic items of choosing a court competent to review court decisions that have entered into legal force on newly discovered or new circumstances in civil and administrative proceedings. The aim of the authors is to conduct a study of the legal regulation of the jurisdiction of applications for review. The methodological basis of the article was formed by general scientific (analysis, analogy, description, synthesis, and systemic approach) and particular scientific methods (historical-legal, comparative-legal, and formal-legal). A retrospective analysis of legal acts of domestic legislation has been carried out. According to the results of the study, difficulties relate to interpreting and applying the existing rules on determining the appropriate instance for revision. Based on the analysis of the judicial practice of courts of general jurisdiction and arbitral courts, the authors come to the conclusion that there is no unified approach of the courts in determining the procedural and legal consequences of violations of the rules of jurisdiction. The conclusion summarizes proposals for improving the current legislation to eliminate ambiguities and achieve uniformity in judicial practice.

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).
