The subject of this paper refers to a special legal regime for vulnerable consumers protection. Special rules for their protection may be determined and applied only if the general term "vulnerable consumer" is clearly defined. Comparative legal research has shown that this requirement has not yet been met in a way that it is widely recognized as acceptable. However, the special term "vulnerable consumer", which is related to certain economic sectors, has been defined with more success. This paper explores the reasons which explain this and analyse the special legal protection of consumers in EU and Serbia on the example of an energy vulnerable customer. Based on examples of good practice, it is indicated that there is a lot of space for improving the position of vulnerable consumers if traders recognize the special needs of them and if they act responsibly and in accordance with the principle of good faith.

The analysis of the European and Russian legislation and documents of international organizations made it possible to draw the following conclusions. The uniqueness of genetic data is determined by the following characteristics. These data are relatively static, do not develop by themselves during life. They are in principle unchanged, since it is impossible to simultaneously modify all identical genes present in all cells of the same organism. They can be invariant with respect to their carrier, going beyond the individual carrier through transmission from generation to generation. The subject can be identified using various identifiers specific to the subject’s physiological, genetic, psychological, cultural, or social identity, such as biometric data such as facial image, fingerprints, iris, venous palm pattern, genetic markers, and "digital" footprints. The legal regime of secrecy can be applied to genetic information by analogy, taking into account the specifics of the source of origin of genetic information and special rules for its processing. However, existing restricted access information regimes do not take into account the specifics of genetic data. The difference between genetic information and other personal data and medical secrecy protected in the regimes is that other family members — blood relatives or a spouse may be interested in it, in addition to the information carrier itself, which is not taken into account in the current Russian legislation. Special mechanisms for the legal protection of genetic information should be introduced, which should be enshrined in a special law "On genetic information".

This research examines the legal protection provided for illegal Indonesian workers in Malaysia and the obstacles to perform it. Malaysia are the largest number compared to another country in Asia in receiving migrant workers from Indonesia. In total there are 73.178 migrant workers. A large number of Indonesian migrant workers is caused by the lack of jobs vacancy in the country, so citizens look for a job abroad. The requirements to become Indonesian migrant workers are not easy, therefore many of them went abroad illegally. Illegal Indonesian workers often get inhuman treatment. Indonesian goverment should protect every citizen, even though they are illegal workers, since they are still Indonesian citizen. This paper is based on normative-empirical legal research with the data obtained from interviews, as well as from secondary sources provided in laws governing these matters, journals or from trusted sites of internet. The results of this study show that: first, the Law No. 18 of 2017 on Protection of Migrant Worker does not differentiate the protection for illegal and legal Indonesian migrant workers. Second, there are two obstacles faced by the Indonesian government: lack of data regarding the illegal Indonesian workers and lack of state budget to handle the protection of illegal Indonesian workers.

Drawing on observations at the 2017 Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF) – a global conference held in Christchurch, New Zealand – this paper examines the significance of localised event spaces in shaping economic subjects and, by extension, economic sectors. Conferences such as the SEWF are sites and moments that provide access to new knowledge, foster collective action and shape the subjectivities of economic actors. We describe how the SEWF cultivated sympathetic affective responses towards social enterprise and the subject position of the social entrepreneur, and demonstrate how the local specificities of Christchurch, as a place, were key to the cultivation of social-entrepreneurial subjectivity at the SEWF.

The notary's role is to provide legal protection to the people who use his services. The presence of a Notary is indispensable for the community concerned to hold a legal relationship with other individuals so that the Notary may also be liable. In the provisions of Article 16 paragraph (1) letter c of the Amendment Law, it is stipulated that in carrying out his position, the Notary is required to attach fingerprints on the minutes of the deed, giving rise to various polemics, because the said provisions do not stipulate further if in this case the smoker suffers from finger defects or events that result in damage to fingerprints which makes the investigator unable to put his fingerprint. The purpose of this research is to find out how the efforts that can be done by a notary against those who are unable to put fingerprints and the legal consequences of the absence of fingerprints against the strength of the deed. This research is a type of normative legal research. The results of this study indicate that efforts can be made by a notary if there are those who suffer from finger defects or experience events that cause fingerprint damage so that they cannot attach their fingerprints to the minutes of the deed, the relevant Notary can explain the matter at the end of the deed. he made it because the fingerprints attached to the address are an act that is required to a notary that can lead to administrative sanctions as contained in the Amendment Law. Due to the legal absence of fingerprints attached to the strength of the deed that is the deed made by the relevant Notary Public remains an authentic deed even though the fingerprints of the tappers are not attached based on Article 1869 of the Civil Code and the deed is valid and legally binding as long as the provisions contained in Article 1320 are fulfilled Civil Code.
