Law Making

На сегодняшний день злоупотребление правом можно заметить во всех сферах правовой деятельности (конституционное, семейное, трудовое, гражданское правo и т.д.) и находит свое проявление на всех стадиях механизма гражданско-правового регулирования (в правотворчестве, правоприменении и правоохранительной деятельности), где поведение субъекта связано с реализацией субъективных прав и законных интересов. При злоупотреблении правом следует понимать те случаи, когда человек, наделенный субъективным правом, при его осуществлении или при запросе о его защите совершает действия, направленные не на реализацию или защиту, а на поиск цели причинить вред другому лицу или нарушить другие законные интересы. В данной статье анализируется понятие “злоупотребление правом”, а также проведен ретроспективный и сравнительный анализ по злоупотрелению правом. Today, abuse of right is considered in all areas of legal activity without exception (constitutional, family, labor, civil law, etc.) and finds its manifestation at all stages of the civil regulation mechanism (in law-making and law enforcement), where the behavior of the subject is associated with the implementation of subjective rights and legitimate interests. When abusing the rights, one should understand those cases when a person endowed with a subjective right, when exercising it or when requesting his protection, performs actions aimed not at realization or protection, but at finding a goal to harm another person or violate other legitimate interests. This article analyzes the concept of “abuse of rights”, and also provides a retrospective and comparative analysis of abuse of rights.

Pre-requisites: legal discretion in criminal law just as in other branches has only partially been a subject matter of legal analysis. Predominantly, a law-enforcement type of discretion was studied, which is implemented by law-enforcement authorities during criminal prosecution. However, modern surveys in the field of law theory consider discretion as a general law phenomenon including law-enforcement, law-making, and law-interpretation aspects. This suggests the need to study legal discretion in criminal law from new points of view. Moreover, one should also take into account a dual-aspect nature of legal discretion, e.g., a combination of characteristics of the subject implementing discretion and law-regulated relations where this takes place. The research objective is to define an opportunity of affecting subjects implementing individual types of legal discretion (law-enforcement, law-making, and law-interpretation) intended for optimization of the discretion level in criminal law. Methods: a combination of common, general scientific, specific scientific, and specific legal methods. First of all, the paper uses a systemic and functional approach. Results. Legal discretion in legal law is represented by law-enforcement, law-making, and law-interpretation discretion of respective subjects. These types of discretion are interdependent and indissolubly related. Currently, an integrated approach to studying these types of discretions in legal law is poorly discussed in literature. Meanwhile, only this approach allows for a systematic study of legal discretion limits (in general and for individual types) and for adequate evaluation of their efficiency in criminal law.

This work is devoted to the study of a preliminary agreement formation in real estate purchase and sale transactions. We give a definition of real estate purchase and sale agreement and analyze the essential terms of both the preliminary real estate purchase and sale agreement and the main agreement. We establish that the conclusion of a preliminary agreement and the resulting obligation to conclude the main agreement can give the counter-party of the transaction additional ways to protect their rights and legitimate interests. We emphasize that the preliminary purchase and sale agreement of real estate must specify conditions that establish the subject and other condi-tions of the main agreement. In the opposite case, if the essential conditions are not defined in the agreement, it is considered not concluded. We analyze the issue of spouses’ property regime of arising from the conclusion of a pre-liminary agreement concerning the disposal of joint property acquired in marriage. We determine the consequences that may occur in the event of a preliminary agreement if one of the spouses is absent or objects. We use practice materials as examples. Analysis of law enforcement practice shows that currently there are a large number of unresolved issues related to the legal qualification of relations arising from preliminary agreements. The work offers suggestions for making changes to the current legislation of the Russian Federation.

This article is dedicated to the legal issues of protection of the rights of individuals who have concluded civil transactions under psychological duress, namely hypnosis. The object of this research is civil law relations that emerge in conclusion of transaction by individuals. The subject of this research is the person’s will and its characteristics in deciding to conclude a transaction under psychological coercion unrelated to physical violence, as well as legal consequences of concluding such transactions. The author examines the factors that contribute to conclusion of transactions under psychological coercion and possible reasons for psychological coercion. The article examines civil and criminal law methods of protection of the rights of citizens who concluded transactions with a defect of volition, but are legally capable and aware of their actions. The conclusion is made that the only effective way to protect the individual from concluding such transaction lies in cultivation of the will. It is noted that the key evidence in challenging such transactions is forensic psychiatry evaluation; however, its commission depends solely on the judge’s decision on a particular dispute. The author assumes that the implementation of punitive measures for coercing into conclusion of such transactions is improbable, since the law enforcement authorities would refuse to initiate a criminal case due to civil nature of the dispute. The scientific novelty of consists in carrying out a comprehensive analysis of both, civil and criminal law methods of protection of the rights of citizens who have concluded transactions with the defect of volition, and the possibility of their practical implementation.

The purpose of this article is to identify loopholes in the mortgage law of Ukraine, in particular if the creditor has not properly exercised his or her right to a final court decision to satisfy his / her claims at the expense of the mortgage subject, resulting in violations of subjective rights of the mortgagee. It is noted that in practice, when applying the Law of Ukraine "On Mortgage" of 05.06.2003 № 898-IV outside the sphere of legal regulation of this law there is a question of legal consequences in case the creditor did not use within a certain time his right on the basis of a court decision on satisfaction his claims on the subject of the mortgage, including termination of the mortgage on these grounds. It is noted that the issue is unsettled: whether the debtor has the right to demand termination of the mortgage agreement, if the lender has chosen a way to satisfy his claims precisely by applying the foreclosure for the mortgage through his public auction, which was decided by the court, does not take any action on enforcement of this judgment. It is emphasized that the issue of the possibility of termination of a mortgage obligation as a result of abuse by the creditor of the right to enforce the obligation is important, in particular when the value of the property transferred to the mortgage exceeds considerably the amount of credit debt of the debtor and the mortgagee (the owner of the property) with encumbered property, unable to dispose of it, waiting for a long time to properly execute the court decision. The authors believe that, because of the improper execution of the court decision and the terms of the mortgage agreement, the mortgagee should also bear the burden of liability and certain losses in this case as well. Therefore, to protect the subjective rights of both the mortgagee and the mortgagee, the authors propose to overcome the gap in the Law of Ukraine "On Mortgage" by amending Art. 17. after the second part of the new part reads as follows: "if the mortgagee has not taken any measures to realize the subject of the mortgage for the execution of the judgment". That is, through the introduction of appropriate amendments to the legislation provides legal certainty in the mortgage relationship.

Legal Meaning

Introduction: in recent decades, there has been an increase in the number of legal phenomena in which nominal properties do not correspond to the real ones. So, even such terms as, for example, the nominal value of an asset and the like began to be included in the laws. The discrepancy between nominal and real properties has long been typical for sham transactions. Therefore, the researchers considered it appropriate to extend the rules on such transactions to the legal phenomena of various branches. So, in tax law, it is proposed to talk about a sham counterparty and apply the legal consequences to the real one. It is also important that in recent years the concept of “sham object” has appeared in the acts of financial and administrative law. The accumulation of relevant circumstances predetermined the purpose of the study – based on the generalization of the construction of a sham transaction to reveal the composition of the concept of “sham legal phenomenon”. Results: the prerequisites for the formulation of the concept of “sham legal phenomenon” are revealed. The expediency of introducing this concept into the legal circulation is characterized. The relevance of extrapolating the construction of a sham transaction to sham legal phenomena is justified. It is shown that the elements of the composition of a sham legal phenomenon are the covering phenomenon claimed by the participants as real; the covered (real) legal phenomenon; the legal consequences of the covered phenomenon; the participants of the legal phenomenon seeking to achieve the legal consequences characteristic of the covered phenomenon. The rule on the legal meaning of the consequences of the covered legal phenomenon is formulated. The scope of application of the results is the theory of law, the branch legal sciences, scientific legal research, law enforcement, law-making. Conclusions: it is necessary to study the scale, causes and consequences of the prevalence of sham legal phenomena in various branches of law.

Work Management

This article raises the questions on the improvement of work management in the prosecutorial branches on consideration of complaints of the parties to criminal proceedings against actions (or inaction) and decisions of the investigator and the prosecutor. Analysis is conducted on the existing in the prosecutor’s office procedure of pretrial dispute, which legislative consolidation is associated with usage of the term “superior prosecutor”. The subject of this research is the norms of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, executive documents of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation and prosecutor's offices of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as scientific literature on the topic at hand. The conclusion is made that the current legislation and the established law enforcement practice assume on the recurrent appeal on the same instance of violation of law within a single prosecutorial branch, and thus do not effectively protect the rights and legitimate interests of the parties involved in the criminal procedure sphere. For this reason, the author makes recommendations on the amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation aimed at adjustment of the procedure of consideration of complaints of the parties to criminal proceedings, which would ensure their resolution within the framework of a single prosecutorial branch in a single instance.

Critical Consideration

We consider the issue of understanding the administrative prejudice in criminal law. We investigate the ontological problems of administrative prejudice in the doctrine of criminal law. The purpose of the work is a ra-tional and critical consideration of the criminal law science provisions in rela-tion to the question of the characteristics and legal essence of administrative prejudice. We analyze the arguments “for” and “against” the preservation of administrative prejudice in the criminal law, consider the essential character-istics of this concept. We state that administrative prejudice is now consid-ered outside the corpus delicti, identifying it with a specific means of legal technique, or within the corpus delicti, as an element of the objective side or subject of the crime. We substantiate the position that administrative preju-dice is a sign of a special subject of a crime. We prove that when committing a repeated similar offense, it is necessary to talk about the public danger of the subject who has committed multiple repetitions of the same offense. In this case, each subsequent multiple offense should entail the onset of criminal liability, because this right violation is not associated with the act, but with the figure committing the unlawful act. We propose measures to improve the proposition of administrative prejudice in the criminal law. Research methods: formal-dogmatic, comparative-legal, instrumental analysis. Scope of application: jurisprudence, law enforcement practice, law-making, legislation.

One of the areas of effective legal regulation of penal legal relations is the compliance of lawmaking and law-enforcement activities with the requirements of the fundamental provisions of penal legislation. The object of the research is the implementation of the equality principle of convicts un-der the law through the consolidation of equal rights, duties and legitimate in-terests of convicts in the penal legislation. The subject of the research is the penal legislation norms governing the institution of the convicts’ departure outside the penitentiary. We indicate the connection of the phenomenon un-der study with the lawmaking and law-enforcement aspect of penal law. We outline some of the law-making and law-enforcement penal issues that are directly related to the consolidation and application of the penal legislation norms when granting convicts the right to leave the penitentiary to visit chil-dren. As a methodological basis for cognition, the following are used: general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, which make it possible to investigate aspects of penal legal reality directly related to the im-plementation of the principles of penal legislation, to formulate well-grounded conclusions; private scientific methods – formal legal and comparative legal – make it possible to identify problems of legal regulation, develop proposals for changing legislation. As a result of the study, we identify the penal legislation norms that contradict the equality principle of convicts under the law, and propose ways to eliminate the identified contradictions.
