Following the principles of IDD, the Act of 15 December 2017 on insurance distribution introduced the concept of “‘a manufacturer of an insurance product” into Polish insurance practice and legislation. Obtaining the status of an insurance product manufacturer involves the responsibility for the design of this product, the necessity to maintain the process of the insurance product governance as well as the obligation to review and examine whether the product is not defective. Clearly and automatically, an insurance undertaking is a manufacturer of an insurance product. Nevertheless, in certain factual situations this status may be shared by an insurance undertaking with insurance intermediaries, including agents, if they perform a significant and decisive function in the product manufacturing process, that is to say, when an insurance intermediary’s impact on the shape of the product is essential. The status of a manufacturer of an insurance product is relevant while determining the liability of an insurance undertaking and a distributor for the product defect both in administrative proceedings before the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) and in civil disputes with customers. An agent, having the status of a manufacturer of an insurance product, is liable for regulatory responsibility, assessed primarily by the KNF, namely the responsibility for the fulfilment of the obligations imposed by the law regarding the proper pursuit of activities and in certain factual situations, also the application of appropriate procedures for the development and management of an insurance product, which will be at the centre of the assessment. In the event of an infringement of the duties and requirements for the performance of product governance by an agent and a manufacturer, the Financial Supervision Authority may apply a number of supervisory instruments.

The right to go to court, including administrative, is one of the most important rights of citizens guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine. In addition to the general constitutional right to judicial protection, in particular, Art. 7 of the Law of Ukraine «On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges» of 02.06.2016 № 1402-VIII, guarantees everyone the protection of his rights, freedoms and interests within a reasonable time by an independent, impartial and fair court established by law. Foreigners, stateless persons and foreign legal entities have the right to judicial protection in Ukraine on an equal footing with citizens and legal entities of Ukraine. Access to justice for every person is ensured in accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine and in the manner prescribed by the laws of Ukraine. However, along with the guaranteed right to apply to the court of foreigners, stateless persons (refugees, migrants, immigrants), such a category of subjects of administrative proceedings as apartheid remained outside the scope of domestic law. In order to eliminate the shortcomings of the legislative regulation of the legal status of apartheid in Ukraine, the author came to the conclusion that it is necessary to eliminate the existing shortcoming by amending the Law of Ukraine «On Legal Status of Foreigners and Stateless Persons» of 22.09.2011 № 3773-V. Keywords: legal status, foreigners, migrants, apartheid, justice, legislation

The law establishes that representatives in the courts can be both lawyers and other persons providing legal assistance, as well as legal representatives. The Constitutional Court in its Resolution No. 15-P of 16.07.2004 indicated that representatives of legal entities in arbitration proceedings can be any person. But in accordance with Item II (A) (a) of the List of Specific Obligations of the Russian Federation for Services Included in Annex I to the Protocol of 16 December 2011 "On the Accession of the Russian Federation to the Marrakesh Agreement on the establishing of the WTO", only those who received the status Lawyer in accordance with Russian law, has the right to represent in criminal courts and Russian arbitration courts, as well as act as a representative of organizations in civil and administrative proceedings and proceedings on cases of administrative violations. Appropriate legislative changes are needed. The law states that the use of the terms "advocacy", "lawyer", "lawyer's chamber", "lawyer’s entity" in the names of organizations is allowed only by lawyers. Every year, Russia's tax inspections register dozens of organizations set up by non-layers, illegally including the above terms in their names. The law should provide not only prohibitions, but also sanctions for violation of these prohibitions. Collegiums of advocates often include the phrase "partners" in their names. But lawyers - members of the board are not partners and do not sign partnership agreements. Partners can not be among the governing bodies of the collegium . The application by collegiums of lawyers of the rules provided for non-commercial partnerships by the Federal Law "On Non-Profit Organizations" in the part of partners is illegal. Only lawyers can establish a lawyer’s bureau and conclude a partnership agreement. But in practice in lawyer’s bureau, persons who do not have the status of a lawyer become partners. In other countries, in associating lawyers limited liability partnerships, along with partners, there are "associates". The introduction of such "associates" in our lawyer’s bureau will be a good alternative to attempts to include commercial organizations in the composition of lawyer entities.

The 1882 Belt v. Lawes libel trial centered around aesthetic questions, of precisely the kind that judges usually seek to avoid. The occasion for the dispute was an article in Vanity Fair by Charles Lawes, asserting that Richard Belt, a sculptor and member of the Royal Academy of Arts, relied on his assistants to do his work. At trial, Lawes proposed an artistic skills test of sorts, suggesting that Belt verify his abilities by executing a sculpture in the courtroom. This evidentiary drama, and the aesthetically freighted-arguments mustered by the parties at trial, make it a fruitful historical episode to study conceptions of authorship and the artistic process, the development of modern copyright doctrine, and the status of expert artistic testimony in the law.

Complex Event Processing (CEP), which can identify patterns of interest from a large number of continuous data steam, is becoming more and more popular in manufacturing process monitoring. CEP rules are specified manually by domain expert, which is a limiting factor for its application in manufacturing enterprises. How to analysis historical data and automatically generate CEP rules is becoming a challenge research. This paper proposed a model of autoCEP for online monitoring in product manufacturing, which can automatically generate CEP rules based on association rules mining in key processes. First, the key quality factors in manufacturing process were extracted by grey entropy correlation analysis. Then, association rules mining method based on product process constraints was used to find the association rules between key factors and product quality. At last, the extracted rules are algorithmically transformed into CEP rules. The experimental results show the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed method.
