The aim of this study is to present social assistance benefits in cash in terms of the jurisprudence of administrative courts. The analysis of the provisions of the Act on Social Assistance and the case law related to the indicated subject matter confirms that the granting of optional benefits in cash – which are the subject of this part of the article – takes place under administrative approval. As a result, meeting the positive prerequisites for a given benefit, with the simultaneous lack of negative prerequisites, does not have to mean that the expected aid is to be obtained. In this case, the principles and objectives of social assistance, including the principle of subsidiarity, are of a great importance. This principle results, first of all, in the obligation to independently undertake actions – by persons or families interested in receiving assistance – in order to overcome a difficult life situation. Only when this is not possible, support is provided by social assistance bodies. Then, however, great importance – which is emphasized in the judicature – is attached to the cooperation of individuals or families with social assistance bodies. The jurisprudence presented in the study also confirms that the significance for granting optional benefits is the use by an individual in the past or at the time of applying for of other social assistance specific benefits. These circumstances, in the best case, may affect the amount of the benefit granted, but may also result in refusal of performing its payment, among others, due to the justified needs of other people. Additionally, the judicature points out that the refusal to grant optional cash benefits may also be affected by the limited financial capacity of the social assistance body (Article 3 (4) of the Act on Social Assistance). This is one of the elements that distinguish these benefits from obligatory benefits in cash, including, in particular, the periodic allowance, where the limited financial capacity of the social assistance body may only affect the amount of the benefit, but may not be the basis for refusal to grant it.

The aim of this study was to present monetary benefits from social welfare in terms of the jurisprudence of administrative courts. The analysis of this case law confirms that the granting of obligatory monetary benefits – which are the subject of this part of the article -– such as the permanent allowance and the periodic allowance, depends on the fulfilment of positive conditions, with no negative circumstances at the same time. The latter, depending on their nature, are or may be considered leading or may lead to the conclusion that the provision of the benefit is or may be contrary to the principles and objectives of social welfare, including the principle of subsidiarity. Providing monetary benefits from social welfare, including – which should be emphasized – also obligatory benefits, requires not only the fulfilment of positive conditions, but also confirmation that the provision of assistance will be consistent with the principles and objectives of social welfare, including the pr – as it is noted in the judicature – including determining whether the person concerned undertakes actions aimed at improving their situation, actively cooperating in this respect with the social welfare body, or whether they only expect support. Each person – before asking for help – is first and foremost obliged to fully use their own powers, resources and possibilities to overcome a difficult life situation, and if they do not fulfil this obligation, then – as confirmed by the jurisprudence – there is no basic condition for providing such a person with assistance from public funds. One of the basic goals set out in the Act on social assistance is the activation of beneficiaries and making them independent. Social assistance is only of a temporary nature and assumes the development of appropriate attitudes among its users. It cannot, under any circumstances, turn into a permanent and unique source of income for people applying for it. A negative settlement of the application of a person applying for social assistance benefits does not have to mean a violation of the general principles of granting assistance, and may only prove that, in a specific case, there are no grounds for the applicant to exercise the rights provided for in the Act. The purpose of social assistance is to provide support, not to replace individual efforts to improve the living situation of a specific person. Permanent allowance and periodic allowance referred to in this study fulfil this function.

This article takes up the innovatory subject of cooperation in the field of football and the tourism sector by the Visegrad Group states. The subject matter of this study has not been widely discussed in the literature, hence most of de lege ferenda postulates are open to further discussion. The current Visegrad Group was created as a political project, not an evolutionary social initiative. This does not mean, however, that the societies of its member states are significantly different from each other, and the structure itself is exotic. The benefits of an extended cooperation, which seems not to have an alternative, for all the participants are fully understood. Therefore, the direction of common thinking about maximizing profits in the developing sector of tourism, and making the most of the social potential of football, can be an attractive platform for international dialogue and extended cooperation among the V4 countries. The baggage of history, geographic and cultural proximity, the migration crisis, as well as the imperialist policy of the neighbouring Russia effectively motivate to strengthen cooperation and create stronger mechanisms with each other. It is indisputable that the tendencies for cooperation in the Visegrad countries are not a novelty.

The article examines the grounds and conditions of securing a claim in administrative proceedings. By analyzing the legal provisions, law enforcement (judicial) practice in connection with the acquisitions of legal science, the grounds and conditions of securing a claim in administrative proceedings are highlighted. Attention is focused on problematic issues that arise when courts check the grounds for securing a claim and compliance with the terms of securing a claim. In particular, attention is drawn to the fact that securing an administrative claim on the grounds of obvious signs of illegality of the decision, action or inaction of the subject of power is virtually inapplicable due to reservations about the inadmissibility of resolving the dispute on the merits. It is concluded that an administrative lawsuit can be secured if there is at least one of the grounds specified in part one of Article 150 of the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine and compliance with the conditions of proportionality, adequacy of measures to ensure administrative lawsuit, direct connection with the subject matter and legal the defendant's conduct in the dispute. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the freedom of discretion (discretion) of the court in the application of measures to ensure an administrative claim is unconditional, but not unlimited and controlled by the requirement to properly justify the relevant procedural action. Keywords: administrative court, administrative claim, administrative proceedings, securing the claim, principles of administrative proceedings, protection of individual rights and freedoms, grounds for securing the claim, conditions for securing the claim
