身處國際貿易交流、人與商品及服務的移動成為常態的時代,各國莫不致力於吸引外資投資為其經濟政策上的目標,因此致力於投資環境的完善遂成為各國經濟行政法的立法重點。對於外國人投資保障越是完善,自然就更能夠堅實外資投資法律面向上的基礎。由於國內似少見從基本權保障探討外國人投資的文獻,本文擬先探究外國法人作為基本權主體之爭議後,再就其經濟活動之自由以及公法上權利予以探討,以求補上外國人投資保障之法治基礎。<br />In an era where the international trade and the mobility of people and goods and services have become the norm, every country is committed to attracting foreign investment as one of its primary goals of economic policy. As a result, the focus of the economic administrative law in every country is devoted to the improvement of the business environment for foreign investment. When the laws or regulations provide better protection for foreign investors, the country will strengthen its legal basis for the protection of foreign investments. Since there are very few current articles analyzing the relationship between the protection of foreign investment and the protection of fundamental rights, this article firstly aims at reviewing the issues of whether foreign entities may be the subjects of the fundamental rights and then exploring the freedom of investing in economic business by foreign entities and their public rights in public law. It is hoped that this article will supplement some legal basis for the protection of foreign investment.<br />

This chapter explores the relationship between private and public law. In civil law countries, the public-private distinction serves as an organizing principle of the entire legal system. In common law jurisdictions, the distinction is at best an implicit design principle and is used primarily as an informal device for categorizing different fields of law. Even if not explicitly recognized as an organizing principle, however, it is plausible that private and public law perform distinct functions. Private law supplies the tools that make private ordering possible—the discretionary decisions that individuals make in structuring their lives. Public law is concerned with providing public goods—broadly defined—that cannot be adequately supplied by private ordering. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, various schools of thought derived from utilitarianism have assimilated both private and public rights to the same general criterion of aggregate welfare analysis. This has left judges with no clear conception of the distinction between private and public law. Another problematic feature of modern legal thought is a curious inversion in which scholars who focus on fields of private law have turned increasingly to law and economics, one of the derivatives of utilitarianism, whereas scholars who concern themselves with public law are increasingly drawn to new versions of natural rights thinking, in the form of universal human rights.

This introductory chapter provides an overview of the idea and importance of constitutions. A constitution is essentially a rulebook for how a state is run, and its function is to impose order and stability; to allocate power, rights, and responsibility and control the power of the state. Indeed, a state's constitution sets out the structure and powers of government and the relationship between individuals and the state, and a balanced constitution ensures a balance of power between the institutions of government. New constitutions can arise either through a process of evolution or as an act of deliberate creation. The chapter then considers the UK constitution. Public law is a fundamentally important part of the UK's national law and is the law about government and public administration. It places limitations on the power of the state through objective, independent controls. It is also known as ‘constitutional and administrative law’.

This paper does not aspire to offer an overall presentation of Prof. Jan Boć’s contribution to the concept of interest, but is intended to point out several views of this author on the design of legal interest in administrative law, including an attempt to assess their validity.Some of these views now require revising, others give them a fresh look. Professor Jan Boć commented on the relationship between public law and private law, made successful attempts to define the relationship. In the area of Professor Jan Boc’s academic interests, there has always been the individual, and therefore the Professor devoted considerable space in his work to the construction of legal interest of the individual, which went beyond the traditional definition describing the conceptof public interest.

RESUMEN La característica esencial de un Estado de Derecho es el sometimiento de los diferentes poderes públicos al imperio de la ley. Por ello, tanto el poder ejecutivo, como el legislativo y el judicial están sometidos a la ley.

The article is devoted to the definition of the concept of public-legal dispute in the field of intellectual property, taking into account the specifics of administrative and legal protection of rights in this field. To this end, the rules of procedural law relating to the definition of a public law dispute, the practice of their application, and the relevant doctrinal provisions on the legal protection of intellectual property rights are analyzed. The suitability of certain categories of such disputes to the jurisdiction of administrative courts is substantiated. The author draws attention to the fact that although the concept of "basis" and "condition" of a public-law dispute are not synonymous, it is impossible to deny that they have a large number of common features. In legal literature, the term "foundation" has become widespread, first of all, to indicate the grounds for the emergence of legal relationships. Moreover, there are two sides to this concept: material and legal basis. The legal basis includes, in particular, legal fact and the existence of a rule of law. It was also determined that the condition should be distinguished from the cause which necessarily produces a certain consequence - the legal conflict between the parties to the public-legal relations is at the heart of the public-legal dispute. From a general point of view, conflict is understood as a clash of opposing interests and views, tension and extreme aggravation of contradictions, which leads to active actions, complications, struggles, accompanied by complex conflicts. It is noted that in the case of a particular dispute, a direct condition for the emergence of public-law disputes is the conflict of not just legislative provisions, and in this case the fundamental rights of persons and the corresponding binding norms obliging the subjects of power to enter into conflict. to the administrative court for the exercise of their specific powers.
