The study investigates the legal nature of the category of "public interest" in private law relations from the standpoint of a systematic scientific approach to law in the countries of post-Soviet society in the modern period. The study states the affiliation of public and private law to the means of achieving the purpose of the law: the recognition of a person, their rights and freedoms as the highest social value of the state. The unsuitability of the theory of the branch belonging to public law has been proved using the universal criterion of separation: the use of the category of "public interest" in the development of the subject and method of the branch in private legal relations. It is concluded that the division of law into private and public is inconsistent in terms of their differentiation of the criterion "method of protecting the rights of their participants", which is activated only after the violation of the latter, while subjective law also exists before the violation, during the existence of regulatory legal relations, and it is the subjective law that forms the affiliation to the relevant industry. During the study, signs of public interest as a legal category were formed. In addition, modern features of public interest as a legal category were outlined from the standpoint of a systematic approach: the general nature of public interests; connectedness with large-scale involvement; recognition by the state and the provision of the law; the possibility of their implementation through measures of state power.

While the privatisation of public space has been the subject of considerable research, literature exploring the shifting boundaries between public and private law, and the role of those shifts in the expansion of neo-liberal social relations, has been slower to develop. This article explores the use of fire safety regulations to evict political occupations in the context of these shifts. Two examples from the UK student occupation movement and two from the US Occupy movement demonstrate how discourses and logics of both private and public law are mobilised through fire hazard claims to create the potent image of a neutral containment of dissent on technical grounds in the public interest – an image that proves difficult to contest. However, the recourse to the public interest and to expert opinion that underpins fire hazard claims is inconsistent with principles governing the limited neo-liberal political sphere, which underscores the pragmatic and continually negotiated implementation of neo-liberal ideas. The article sheds light on the complexity of the extending reach of private law, on the resilience of the public sphere and on the significance of occupations as a battleground on which struggles over neo-liberal social relations and subjectivities play out.

La desaparición forzada es consecuencia de prácticas ilegales y clandestinas acometidas por poderes punitivos desbocados, pero también la desaparición social es efecto de políticas públicas en las que el derecho interviene. En este texto indagamos cómo la ley produce ausencia y desaparición en el ámbito del derecho público y del derecho privado, con especial interés en los mecanismos que utiliza para gestionar tales situaciones, entre la representación, legal o voluntaria, y la excepción. El refugiado, el migrante indocumentado, el enemigo, son ejemplos paradigmáticos de los procesos y los dispositivos mediante los que el derecho invisibiliza y aparta ciertas subjetividades, no solo fuera del espacio público sino también de la protección del Estado, desplaza y sustituye a personas e individuos a quienes va a representar y por quienes van otros a actuar. Forced disappearance is the consequence of illegal and clandestine practices committed by out of control punitive powers, but social disappearance is also the effect of public policies where the law intervenes. In this text we inquire how the law produces absence and disappearance in the field of public and private law, looking specifically on the mechanism the law uses to manage those situations between representation, legal or voluntary, and exception. The refugee, the undocumented migrant, the enemy, are paradigmatic examples in the processes and in the dispositifs through which law invisibilizes and removes some subjectivities, not only outside of public space, but also of the protection of the State; it replaces and substitutes persons and individuals that the State is going to represent and in the name of whom others are going to act.

The basis of legal relations in public procurement are private and public interests. The purpose of the study is a substantive assessment of the authors hypothesis that the purpose of legal regulation and financial support of public procurement is to satisfy the public interest expressed in the form of a public need for goods, works, and services. The methodological basis of the study rests on historical and systematic approach, analysis, synthesis and comparative-legal methods. The results of the analysis of normative legal acts regulating public procurement, doctrinal literature and practice showed that public interest denounced in the form of public need is realized through public procurement. Public and private interests can be realized exclusively jointly since these needs cannot objectively be met individually. In general, ensuring public as well as private interests boils down to defining and legally securing the rights and obligations of the customer and their officials, which safeguards them in the process of meeting public needs through public procurement. The study revealed the dependence of the essence of public interest on the political regime, which determines the ratio of public and private interests. Public interest in public procurement is suggested to understand as the value-significant selective position of an official or another person authorized by the government, which is expressed in the form of the public need for the necessary benefit; gaining such benefit involves both legal regulation and financial security. The purpose of legal regulation of public procurement is to satisfy public interest. These concepts should be legally enshrined in Law No. 44-FZ.

The principles of adjusting the regulation of civil relations in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic are analyzed. The admissibility of restricting human rights in the context of the conflict of private and public interests are researched. Besides, the authors tried to determine the optimal algorithm of government actions aimed at preventing the spread of the epidemic. The main approach to the understanding of human rights in the article is based on Dworkin's concept of “rights as trumps”. A system of such categories as “a man”, “a private person”, “natural private rights”, “private law” and “national civil law” is analyzed. The conclusion is that the importance of the category of “natural” human rights is underestimated, which exacerbates the problem of ensuring human rights in a pandemic, when the state actively uses public law to cope with the crisis. As a result, there is a conflict of basic principles of private and public law: “everything is allowed except what is prohibited by law” vs. “only what is allowed by law is possible”. It is proposed to assume that the usual way of the legal existence of a person is that he/she acts as a participant in civil relations of a private type, even in a pandemic. Private relations, which arise during the quarantine period, are proposed to be regulated mainly by private law methods, limiting the influence of the state. This will allow us to reach a compromise of private and public interests, without restricting the rights of individuals voluntarily.

The article examines how the principle of legal certainty can serve as a criterion in determiningthe balance and balance of private and public interests in the consideration of cases in court. Russianjurisprudence shows that, at the national level, there is an imbalance in the private and public interest inconsiderations, in which priority is often improperly given to public interest. The principle of legal certaintymay serve as a criterion for finding this balance, taking into account the jurisprudence of the European Courtof Human Rights.

Abstract Lord Walker, in Futter and Pitt v HMRC1, noted that there are “superficial similarities between what the law requires of trustees in their decision-making and what it requires of decision-makers in the field of public law.” We examine these similarities under the following headings: (1) natural justice; (2) the application of Wednesbury unreasonableness to trust law (an area in which there is far more common ground between public and private law than natural justice); and (3) the decision in Braganza v BP Shipping Limited2 and how this has been subsequently applied. We suggest that the similarities go beyond merely superficial and that public law principles are having an inexorable impact on trust law and practice.

The paper examines one of the key problems in financial relations, namely: how to ensure the balance between private and public interests as values protected under the Constitution. Taking into account the modern constitutional axiology (Article 2 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation), the principle of priority of public interests, which has already been settled in the doctrine, is subjected to critical analysis. The author concludes that the priority of public interest and its perception as a methodological framework, in fact, does not promote and even impedes the development of relationships in the system “a taxpayer — the State” based on the principles of open cooperation and trust. The priority of one interest over another does not comply with the requirement of their equilibrium. On the basis of the analysis of the practice of constitutional justice, the author concludes that it is necessary to shift the values and rethink the former statist scientific views. The author substantiates an egalitarian approach that takes into account both private and public interests as equally important legal values and provides for dialogue and mutual respect between the taxpayer and the state.

In the article is considered the interest in the norm of law as objective criterion of the division of the law to private and public. Author proposes to determine these areas of law in the following way. Public law is complex of the rule of law which governs the behavior model of subjects for the implementation and protection of the state, national, international interests. Private law is complex of the rule of law which establish the model of behavior of subjects in order to implementation and protect the interests of individuals and organization, not only at national but also at international level.

Allocation of the burden of proof is a key issue of criminal procedure that is affected by multiple legal and social factors. Under due process principles, the defendant’s right to a fair and impartial trial is deemed to be the epicenter of the whole structure. However, efficient law enforcement is a prominent public interest that must be considered. This article explores the correlation between public and private interest in proving insanity under the law of New York, which provides great empirical background due to its long history of legal disputes and legislative changes. Considering the nature and structure of the burden of proof, the author concludes that there are several principles for its fair allocation: the due party that bears both the burden and the risk of its nonperformance; the feasibility of the burden; the adequate opportunity for the other party to rebut; the concentration of resources upon needs that are not presumed but in fact exist. All the mentioned principles lay the ground for the harmonization of constitutional guaranties for the defendant as well as the successful enforcement of criminal law. The current New York approach to insanity defense as an affirmative one along with the history of its implementation tends to prove its compliance with such requirements. This finding suggests that bearing the burden shall not be treated as impairment by default, but can protect both the interest of this party and the integrity of the whole process.
