The article examines the conditions for the occurrence and grounds of civil liability of minors between the ages of fourteen and eighteen years. The article characterizes individual articles of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation concerning the civil liability of minors at the age in question. The idea is substantiated that by compensating for harm by parents (adoptive parents) or guardians of minors, if they do not prove that the harm arose through no fault of theirs, the legislator tries to respect the interests of persons who have suffered from the illegal actions of minors. The article presents the views of scientists regarding the conditions for the onset of civil liability of this category of minors. The features of the onset of property liability of minors between the ages of fourteen and eighteen are analyzed. Examples from judicial practice on the problems of compensation for harm caused by minors between the ages of fourteen and eighteen are given. The result of the study is the formulation of conclusions that the absence of direct responsibility of minors leads to their impunity in the future, and makes the institution of civil liability of minors formal.

The increasing awareness amongst the society on medico-legal issues as well as the growth of consumerist attitude towards the provision of medical services has caused the medical profession to be subjected to vociferous criticism if they do not meet rising expectations of the society. Substandard services have not been well tolerated and paternalistic approaches in medical treatment are considered to be outmoded and inappropriate. Any dissatisfaction on the part of the patient towards medical services provided nowadays may easily trigger claims in the court of law. This changing trend has also fundamentally changed the behaviour of the courts towards the medical profession. Judicial and legislative interventions in medical practice have created more and more rights for the patients and consequently, corresponding legal duties for the medical profession to uphold. In the present healthcare setting, the medical profession will not be able to provide infallible services without knowledge of the legal standards which they have to adhere. Thus, educating future medical professionals with the fundamentals of law and ethics would ensure greater accountability, knowledge and personal commitment in providing medical services to the society as the ideals of professionalism not only require them to have the necessary expertise, dedication, respect, compassion, empathy, honesty, altruism, responsibility, integrity, self-improvement and accountability but also adherence to the demands of law and highest ethical standards.

There is a reoccurring question in medical practice: do positive attitude and communication of the medical staff make any difference? Aim: Our aim is to present a comprehensive image of the medically relevant effects of positive suggestions by reviewing the recent literature. Methods: We review the studies measuring the effects of suggestive communication of the past 20 years. In cases of studies presented in more details we quote from the suggestion scripts used in the study, too. Results: Most of the reviewed papers affirm that positive suggestions lead to decreased pain and use of pain medication. But physiological factors like bowel motility, blood pressure and bleeding during surgery can be positively affected, too. Conclusions: Suggestive communication – a yet poorly utilized tool – used appropriately can significantly affect healing and recovery of a patient. Thus we emphasize further, more detailed study of this technique and its integration into the education of medical professionals. Orv. Hetil., 2011, 152, 96–106.

Abstract Civil liability for medical malpractice may be attributed either to a doctor or a hospital when any of these persons’ acts or omissions cause injuries to a patient; it may be also the hospital’s liability for the damage caused by negligence of its staff (doctors and other personnel). The rules that govern this liability and the way of compensating the damage are different due to the grounds on which the doctor performs medical services and, in case of hospital’s liability, the relation between a doctor and a health care institution. A doctor who runs his private medical practice bears civil liability individually and is obliged to pay damages if any of his patient suffers injury in connection with the treatment. However, a doctor who acts as employee of a health care institution is protected by the provisions of the Labour Code and exempted from civil liability to a patient. On the other hand, a so-called independent contractor’s liability is joint and several with a hospital that has engaged him. However, case law seems to protect such doctors and treat them as hospital’s employees if certain premises are fulfilled (like de facto subordination of the doctor to the head of the ward).

Based on the results of the study of federal regulatory legal acts and judicial practice, the author of the article substantiates the conclusion about the advisability of applying the concept “prosecution” to the activities of the prosecutor participating in hearings in civil-law cases. At present, only criminal prosecution by the prosecutor is enshrined in Article 37 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. There are research works that justify administrative prosecution by the prosecutor. With regard to the prosecutor’s participation in the consideration of cases by courts outside of criminal proceedings, the issues of defining the role of the prosecutor as a subject of prosecution have not been raised in research. However, in connection with the enactment of laws on anti-corruption, on the reversion of civil servants’ property to the government, the issues of understanding the role of the prosecutor involved in civil proceedings acquire particular importance. In addition, civil liability has been established for offenses, e.g., in the form of liquidation of a legal entity by a court decision issued at the request of the prosecutor. The prosecutor is empowered to initiate the consideration of a case by the court upon the request to bring the perpetrator to civil liability, and the practice of considering such cases by the courts is being formed. In this regard, it is necessary to investigate the identified problem. The aim of this study was to analyze the approaches in the science of prosecutor’s activities, to form a conception of the prosecution by the prosecutor of persons who, according to the prosecutor, are guilty of committing an offense in the consideration of cases by courts in civil proceedings. As a result of the study, the features of the prosecutor’s participation in anti-corruption cases in civil proceedings that characterize the prosecutor’s activities as the prosecution of persons accused – by the prosecutor – of committing corruption offenses have been established. Attention has been drawn to other categories of civil cases in which the prosecutor also conducts prosecution. It has been emphasized that the prosecution is conducted only if the prosecutor applies to the court with a statement of claim, but not in the case of joining the case to give an opinion. The conclusion is made that there are theoretical and legal preconditions for separating the prosecution by the prosecutor in the civil procedural order. The established patterns and findings are aimed at ensuring the unity of approaches to defining the aims and objectives of the prosecutor’s activities in diverse directions, which contributes to increasing the efficiency of the prosecutor’s activities as a whole.

The Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides an opportunity to the rightholder in case of infringement of his exclusive copyright and related rights to demand in court instead of compensation for damages incurred by him to pay compensation. In most cases, when the rightholder applies for judicial protection of his violated rights, he requires the recovery of compensation. This article discusses the legal nature of compensation as a legal remedy of an exclusive right and its primary functions. When writing an article, a comparative law research method is used. As a result of the analysis of russian and foreign legislation, as well as judicial practice, it was found that compensation, in addition to restorative, also has a preventive function and can be considered an analogue of statutory damages.

The article discusses the forms of clarification on matters of judicial practice by the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Presidium of the Supreme Court, as well as in the Review of judicial practice on some issues of the application of legislation on business companies dated December 25, 2019. Clarifications of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on issues of judicial practice are characterized as the positions of the courts identified in the course of studying and summarizing the judicial practice of the corresponding category of cases, which are acts of individual regulation of public relations. Focusing on Art. 6 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and Section 6, Art. 12 of the APC RF shows the validity of dividing wrong into two types of wrong: the «moderate» type of «judicial law-making and the position of the court» and the «radical» type of «judicial law-making», when the court develops the rule of law, which contradicts the constitutional principle of separation of powers. When resolving corporate disputes, it is necessary to investigate whether the charter of a non-public company does not contain the rights and obligations of its participants, which they themselves created by making a unanimous decision and including them in the charter of the company (paragraph 3 of Art. 66.3 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, paragraph 3 of Art. 14 of the Law about LLC).
