Problem setting. Due to the rapid impact of information and communication technologies on commodity-money relations, which are in the sphere of civil turnover in Ukraine, the number of contracts concluded in electronic form is significantly increasing. The scope of electronic documents both in contractual civil law relations and in general in the relations of individuals with government agencies, courts and other public law entities has a clear tendency to expand and grow. Thus, in many areas of commodity-money exchange, the interaction of executors and customers (clients) has reached a completely new organizational and legal level and is carried out exclusively online, because the territorial remoteness and implementation of quarantine measures against COVID-19 is not always possible to sign an agreement on paper. These statements determine the relevance of the chosen research topic. The object of the study is the civil legal relationship using a mobile digital signature (Mobile ID). The subject of the research is the advantages and disadvantages of electronic identification with the use of mobile digital signature in civil circulation. The state of research of the problem. Such scientists as M. I. Anokhin, Yu. V. Borodakiy, N. P. Varnovsky, V. M. Glushkov, M. V. Denisova, M. M. Dutov, A.V. Kobets, G.I. Kupriyanova, A. Matvienko, V. A. Onegov, I. A. Semaev, V. A. Shakhverdov, M. N. Tsyvin, V. V. Yashchenko and others. The target of research is to study the features of the legal regulation of electronic digital signature of a person and his legal status with the analysis of issues arising from the use of such a signature in civil turnover, the formulation of proposals for their solution. Article’s main body. The possibility of using mobile digital signatures in the document flow is provided by the relevant regulations. The Law of Ukraine “On Electronic Digital Signature” adopted on May 22, 2003, defines the legal status of an electronic digital signature and regulates the relations that arise when using an electronic digital signature. This Law does not apply to relations arising from the use of other types of electronic signatures, including digitized images of handwritten signatures. At the same time, the provision of Part 3 of Article 207 of the Civil Code of Ukraine on the use of facsimile reproduction of the signature by means of mechanical, electronic or other copying, as well as electronic signature or other analogue of handwritten signature with the written consent of the parties, which must contain samples handwritten signatures. The legislative base on electronic signatures is currently constantly growing, a passport of a citizen of Ukraine in the form of a card with a contactless electronic carrier (and an electronic digital signature) has been introduced into the continuum of indirect electronic reality. The Law of Ukraine "On Electronic Commerce" of September 3, 2015 regulates the legal regulation of the field of electronic commerce in Ukraine, defines the procedure for electronic transactions with the use of information and telecommunications systems. The legal basis for the provision of electronic trust services, including cross-border, the rights and obligations of the subjects of legal relations in the field of electronic trust services are subject to the Law of Ukraine "On electronic trust services" of October 5, 2017. The number of diverse legal material causes some difficulties in the practical application of a mobile digital signature. Differences in national terminology, which are contained in different sources, as well as existing legal gaps determine the relevance of this problem and require appropriate research. Conclusions and prospects for the development. The scientific novelty of the study is a comprehensive consideration of this topic, namely: the pros and cons of using a mobile digital signature, making suggestions for improving existing legislation with concepts and functions related to the use (Mobile ID).

Theoretical and applied research of the features of the legal status of the subjects of civil law remains debatable today. Doctrinal and legislative analysis of this subject points to unresolved issues in this area. In particular, the provision on defining the state as a party to civil law remains controversial. There is no consensus on the definition of individuals and legal entities as subjects of civil law among scholars. Furthermore, the legal regulation of certain types of entities is somewhat unsystematic and chaotic. This is largely due to the insufficient development of theoretical issues related to the subjects of civil law. The above issues determine the relevance of the study of the features of the legal status of subjects of civil law. The purpose of the study is to investigate the features of the legal status of subjects of civil law based on doctrinal and legislative analysis. The study is based on a systematic approach, which lies in studying a complex system of relationships between subjects of civil law. Furthermore, the study is based on the laws and principles of dialectics, which contribute to the study of the legal status of the subjects of civil law. Systemic and structural-functional analysis was used to comprehensively describe the legal status of subjects of civil law. The historical method contributed to the study of the evolution of research on the subjects of civil law. The formal legal method helped identify the special features of the provisions of regulations concerning the subjects of civil law. With the help of the comparative legal method, the study analysed the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine in terms of regulation of subjects of civil law and such regulation was compared with other countries. The study defined the concepts and types of subjects of civil law and considered the features of the legal status of individuals, legal entities, as well as the state as a special participant of civil law. Special attention was paid to the historical analysis of the development of approaches to the definition of subjects of law, starting with Roman law

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.

Problem setting. The importance of financial control in the formation of market relations is significantly increasing, because such control contributes to the successful implementation of the financial policy of the state, ensuring the proper formation, distribution (redistribution) and the use of funds accumulated in public funds. In addition, it should be noted that financial control is a means of regulating economic activity. In this context, legal support for financial control is of great importance. Independent financial control is a form of non-governmental financial control that can be exercised by specialized organizations – audit firms or auditors. It is significant that Ukraine recently adopted a law regulating the procedure for auditing and conducting financial audits. It is the Law of Ukraine “On Audit of Financial Reporting and Auditing” № 2258-VIII of December 21. 2017, which came into force on 1 October. 2018. Analysis of recent researches and publications. We emphasize that the study of the concept of “financial control”, the definition of its types, forms and methods, as well as the legal status of the entities that carry it out, were engaged in the following scientists: L. K. Voronova, О. P. Hetmanets, T. A. Zhadan, M. P. Kucheryavenko, P. P. Latkovsky, Yu. A. Mandrychenko, L. A. Savchenko and others. However, changes in the legal regulation of financial control, issues related to the consolidation of the legal status of entities exercising independent financial control need to be examined in detail. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to analyze the legal status of entities exercising independent financial control in Ukraine. Article’s main body. In the article the author reveals the peculiarities of the legal status of the Audit Chamber of Ukraine as a subject of independent financial control in Ukraine. Іt can be stated that the Audit Chamber of Ukraine, which is a professional organization, is a direct participant in the relations related to the organization and implementation of independent financial control, in particular, audit control. Given the compulsory nature of acquiring membership in the AСU, the statutory purpose and activities of this organization, this organization can not be considered public. Conclusions and prospects for the development. It is stated that the legal status of the specified entity is characterized by a certain multidimensionality. In particular, the Audit Chamber of Ukraine is a professional, self-regulatory organization that is authorized to perform public functions and is managed through specially created bodies. The above shows that the current legislation of Ukraine reflects a new approach to the regulation of independent financial control, in particular by defining the powers, rights and duties of the Audit Chamber of Ukraine.

Introduction. Nowadays, the issue of determining the legal status of the company's share in the own authorized capital of LLC and TDV has become quite acute, as evidenced by the adoption on July 28, 2021 by the Commercial Court of Cassation in Case № 904/1112/20, in which the Court established a new approach legal nature of such a phenomenon and expressed his own position on the understanding of the legislation concerning the legal status of the share of LLC and TDV in its own authorized capital. Given that a limited liability company is the most popular type of legal entity that is chosen to conduct business in Ukraine, the analysis of this issue is relevant. Some scientific value for the development of the transfer of the participant's share are the works of individual authors devoted to the study of the legal nature of the share in the authorized capital but the problems arising around the legal status of the company. in their own authorized capital in these works were only mentioned along with others, but did not receive a detailed separate study. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the normative regulation of the legal status of the company's share in the own authorized capital of LLCs and ALCs, identification of shortcomings in their legal regulation and implementation, as well as the search for ways to eliminate them. Results. One of the most relevant decisions concerning the subject of this article is the Judgment of the Commercial Court of Cassation in case № 904/1112/20 of July 28, 2021. The court in this case found that the votes attributable to the share belonging to the company itself are not taken into account when determining the results of voting at the general meeting of participants on any issues. However, Ukrainian legislation does not contain any direct norms that would prohibit the exercise of the right to manage a company in relation to itself on the basis of a share in its own authorized capital. That is why the company cannot be a participant in relation to itself, although they seem logical, but do not have sufficient regulatory support, and therefore do not allow to be firmly convinced of their compliance with the law. In view of this, it can be stated that there is a significant gap in the national legislation on this issue, which, in our opinion, the Court failed to “fill” with this decision in the case. Conclusion. In the Ukrainian legislation at the level of the Law of Ukraine “On Limited and Additional Liability Companies” Article 25 defines the possibility for a company to acquire a share in its own authorized capital. However, the regulation of the legal status of such a share cannot be called sufficient, due to which in practice there are certain problems in the implementation of the provisions of the legislation concerning the share of the company in its own authorized capital. The solution of these legal problems is necessary to ensure the highest quality and clarity of the law, as well as to form case law with common approaches to understanding a single rule.

The article considers the definition of the insured, which is contained in the Law of Ukraine «On collection and accounting of a single contribution to compulsory state social insurance» and based on this it is concluded that it includes only the persons and the main obligation of the insured – payment of insurance premium and does not establish additional or qualifying features that the insured must have. Given that the social security insurance mechanism was borrowed from civil law, the author examined the definition of the insurer from the standpoint of civil law and concluded that the presence of insurance interest is a prerequisite for determining a person as an insured and proposed his own definition of insurance interest – a certain property interest related to the need to suffer material loss in connection with damage to life, health and ability to work of the insured person as a result of an accident or occupational disease that occurs during the performance or in connection with the performance of certain work in the interests of the insured. The author emphasizes that the insurers in the relationship of social insurance against accidents at work and occupational diseases can be primarily employers. Based on the results of the analysis of the definition of the employer in various regulations, it was concluded that there is a certain inconsistency in science and legislation regarding this term, and therefore the legislative definition of the employer needs to be specified. This made it possible to develop proposals for making the necessary changes to certain regulations that contain this term. The concept and features of a single social contribution are researched. Peculiarities of insurance of persons performing works on the terms of civil law contracts are analyzed. Emphasis is placed on the unresolved issue of the customer - an individual who uses the work of other individuals under a civil contract, but without registering them as a business entity. It is believed that such persons should also act as payers of the single social contribution, and therefore it is necessary to amend the Law of Ukraine «On the collection and accounting of the single contribution to the obligatory state social insurance».

The legal regulation of relations with the participation of peasant (farmer) farms is complicated by the absence of a single legal act that would consistently cover all the rules governing the creation and activities of known types of peasant farms, which include: a sole peasant farm represented by an individual entrepreneur, a contractual association of citizens without the formation of a legal entity and peasant farms as the legal form of a legal entity. Individual judicial regulation, possessing a sign of feedback for legal regulation, can help increase its effectiveness. The purpose is to study the characteristics of individual judicial regulation of relations with the participation of peasant (farmer) enterprises on the example of individual judicial acts, as well as suggesting ways to resolve the problems identified. To achieve the stated goal, the following tasks were set: – designation of peasant farms confirmed by court decisions on disputes involving them; – the identification and study of the features of individual judicial regulation of relations with the participation of these types of peasant farms; – consideration of the possibility of application by courts of an analogy of the law in relation to peasant farms; – suggesting ways to address the identified problems of individual judicial regulation of relations with the participation of peasant farms. The methodological basis of the study consists in the use of general scientific (dialectics, analysis and synthesis) and private scientific research methods (formal legal, document analysis method). Brief conclusions of the study. 1. The marked differentiation of types of peasant farming makes it possible to specify the features of legal and individual regulation of each of them, and also makes it possible to exclude the accidental application of improper legislation in relations with the participation of peasant (farm) farms. 2. To determine the characteristics of individual types of farms, it is necessary to accurately determine the basis for the occurrence of each of them. 3. The application of the analogy of the law to peasant farms as partnerships or societies should be excluded, and the full identification of farms with these legal entities should not be allowed. 4. A special law that would determine the particular legal status of the peasant economy as a legal entity in accordance with clause 5 of article 86.1 of the Civil Code has not yet been adopted.
