Legal rights protected under sections 8, 9 and 10 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are the subject of this article. Section 8 affords protection against unreasonable search or seizure; there was no similar provision under the Canadian Bill of Rights. Authorized searches and seizures by warrant will be considered unreasonable whenever minimal standards laid down in section 443 of the Criminal Code have not been respected. Furthermore, searches or seizures without warrant will be judged unreasonable if they do not conform to the legal provisions under which they are authorized. Section 9 protects against arbitrary detention or imprisonment. Some judges deem detention to be arbitrary if it is not authorized under statute, while others feel that detention is arbitrary whether authorized by statute or not if it be capricious or unreasonable. Finally, section 10 provides for certain rights to a person who is arrested or detained, such as the right to be informed of the reasons for arrest or detention, the right to be informed of his or her right to retain and instruct counsel and the right to do so, and the right to have the validity of the detention ascertained.

The Right to health protection is one of the most fundamental constitutional rights. It is subject to criminal legal protection. While the attacks on him appear not only in the form of crimes such as causing harm by negligence (part 2 of article 118 of the Russian Criminal Code), failure to assist a patient (article 124 of the Russian Criminal Code), etc., but also corruption crimes. Corruption threatens the normal relationship between doctor and patient, medical institution and patient, which reduces the quality of medical care. It threatens not only people’s property, but also their lives and health. Manifestations of corruption in health care are different, they are many, and they should all be taken into account in determining measures and means to combat this dangerous social phenomenon. The effectiveness of the fight against corruption in the health sector is largely due to the knowledge of its various manifestations. These problems are the subject of the proposed article

The article explores certain problems of law enforcement practice in recognizing inheritance as escheat. The subject of scientific analysis is the subject composition of these procedural relations. Applicants in this category of cases can be conditionally divided into two groups: 1) persons obliged to submit an application to the court for recognition of the inheritance as escheat, and 2) persons who have the right to do so. The persons who are obliged to apply to the court for recognition of the inheritance as escheat are territorial communities. On the basis of an analysis of the legislation, it was established that in the case where a united territorial community was formed in a certain territory, it is authorized to apply to the court for recognition of the inheritance as escheat. On behalf of the local self-government body as a representative of the territorial community (united territorial community), a lawsuit may be initiated to recognize the inheritance as escheat: 1)by its headman or 2) another person authorized to do so according to the law, statute, regulation, employment contract. That is, there can be both self-representation and representation on the basis of a special assignment. It received additional justification for the ability of the prosecutor’s office to submit an application for recognition of the inheritance as escheat in the absence of a territorial community. In such a case, the public prosecutor's office shall represent the legitimate interests of the State in court, in accordance with article 56 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, as a body or person entitled to defend the rights, freedoms and interests of others (human rights defender). The possibility of participating not only as an applicant but also as a human rights defender is justified. The possibility of self-representation of local self-governments in cases of recognition of inheritance as escheat by a headman is proposed. It is further argued that such a possibility should be provided for in the Headman’s Regulations, which are approved by the relevant local councils. The peculiarities of initiation of production by subjects for whom the application to the court for recognition of the inheritance as escheat is a right, not an obligation (creditors of the testator, owners and/or users of adjacent land plots) are analyzed. If an applicant in cases of recognition of the inheritance as escheat is a creditor, documents confirming the existing obligations in relation to the debtor-testator should be attached to the application. Recommendations are made on a list of documents that can confirm the status of an applicant-related land user to apply to the court for recognition of the inheritance as escheat. It is proposed to amend Art. 335 CPC of Ukraine on the necessity to provide the originals of written evidence together with a statement on the recognition of the inheritance as escheat. The role of a notary in cases of recognition of inheritance as escheat has been investigated. It is proposed to provide in the legislation the right of a notary to submit to the court an application for recognition of the inheritance as escheat. It is proposed to improve the way of informing the public about the discovery of an inheritance that has no heirs.

Those who like to pay tax are few. Accordingly, income tax is often described as a shame. Of course, the right to enjoyment of property is at stake in the matters of taxation. And the collection of taxation involves also other aspects of the right to substantive and procedural due process of law : right to privacy, to be heard, to unbiassed decision, to professional secrecy... This article contrasts these rights, as they are expressed in sections 5 to 9 and 23 of the Charte des droits et libertés de la personne of Québec and section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom, with sections 13 to 16 and 38 and following of the Loi sur le ministère du revenu of Québec and sections 159, 231 and 232 of the Canadian Income Tax Act. It finds that it is the application of the income tax law, more than the law itself, that threatens human rights. It concludes that the main benefit of both Charters of rights is to provide a shelter from such unreasonnable application

Drawing on the analysis of security in Chapter 3 and the capabilities approach in Chapter 4, Chapter 5 provides examples of the interests that the right to security of person protects. It also considers the extent to which human rights law already recognizes a link between those interests and security of person. Five overlapping examples are discussed in turn: life, the means of life, health, privacy and the home, and autonomy. Illustrations are brought primarily from the European Convention on Human Rights, the Canadian Charter, and the South African Bill of Rights jurisprudence. It is argued that protection against material deprivations that threaten a person’s existence are as much part of the right to personal security as protection against physical assaults. The right to security of person effectively overcomes the problematic distinction between civil and political rights and socio-economic rights because it sits in both categories.

The Miller case, decided by the Supreme Court of Canada on October 5, 1976, puts the death penalty under the light of the Canadian Bill of Rights which formulates the right to life and the right to protection against cruel and unusual treatment or punishment. The following comment on the case relates to the interpretation given specific clauses of the Bill of Rights by the Court on that occasion. But it stresses especially the law that flows from the case about the compelling weight of the Bill of Rights over acts of Parliament enacted after the Bill came into force. In Miller, the Supreme Court expressed itself on the subject for the first time.

Abstract Hamlet’s ‘To be or not to be’ speech has long been the subject of intense scholarly attention. By situating the speech against the backdrop of classical and Renaissance rhetorical theory, this essay demonstrates that there is still much more to be said about it. The speech ostensibly examines a quaestio infinita or a thesis, and follows the rhetorical rule that the right way to do so is by the invocation of commonplaces. This reading of Hamlet’s speech is not only consistent with Shakespeare’s characterization of the university-educated prince, who frequently invokes commonplaces, but also has significant implications for our understanding of the play and Shakespeare’s own practice as a writer. The book that Hamlet is reading could well be his own commonplace collection, and it is perhaps in looking up his entries under the heading of ‘Death’ that Hamlet finds what he needs in order to examine his quaestio.

The article is devoted to the problematic theoretical and practical issues of the content of the signs of the object of the crimes under Art. 166 of the Criminal Code. The authors determined the main direct object, revealed the essence of the right of ownership, use and disposal. Marked social relations that can act as an optional direct object. Particular attention is paid in the article to the subject of the crime. Attempts have been made to establish criteria that are crucial for the recognition of any vehicle as the subject of theft. The content of the terms “automobile” and “other vehicle” is disclosed. The analysis of the conformity of the literal interpretation of the criminal law to the interpretation of the law enforcer is carried out. It is summarized that the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation narrows the meaning of the term “other vehicle”, including in it only vehicles for the management of which, in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, is granted a special right. The authors provide a list of such vehicles and formulate a conclusion on the advisability of specifying them as the subject of a crime. The narration of the article is accompanied by examples of decisions of courts of various instances in cases of crimes under Art. 166 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation

The historical feature of the protection of corpses, as well as the development of funerary tendencies, is an integral part of the functioning of our civilization, from the very beginning of time. The approach to death depends on the cultural and denominational circle as well as time. Respect for the living and the dead was in the past a separate division of civilization and thought development. Nowadays, new trends can be observed in the development of the protection of the human individual, as well as his name or reverence. In modern Polish legislation, the open catalog of personal rights (Article 23 of the Civil Code) is a wide field of interpretation in the very problem of the existence of specific goods. Undoubtedly from the provision of art. 23 k.c, it follows that this protection is due to the live unit, and thus only until its death. In modern Polish legislation, the open catalog of personal rights (Article 23 of the Civil Code) is a wide field of interpretation in the very problem of the existence of specific goods. Undoubtedly from the provision of art. 23 k.c, it follows that this protection is due to the live unit, and thus only until its death. At the moment when, according to the law, we cease to deal with a living person, and we start talking about corpses, certain rights are ceded to the closest persons, some are subject to inheritance. The right that people who are closest to someone’s death to cultivate this person according to their own conscience and religion and the contract between the entity authorized to burial and the cemetery management, as well as a number of related circumstances (on the drudge of several areas of law), will be called the right to the grave. The existence of the right to the grave belongs to arguable issues, as the liberty of the subject granting a certain sphere of possibility of proceedings, including its the scope of power. In the article, the Authors also discuss the issues related to the offense described in the art. 261 and 262 of the Polish Criminal Code. The dogmatic analysis carried out with regard to elements of a prohibited act has made it possible to establish, the scope of criminalization of these acts.

The relevance of the article is that today, the requirements for persons who intend to carry out notarial activities are unreasonably high compared to the requirements for a candidate for judge or lawyer, and the procedure for obtaining a certificate of the right to engage in notarial activities is complicated. That is, the requirements for future notaries are the most stringent, which is not justified and at the same time limits the rights of citizens to access the profession. Therefore, artificial restrictions on access to notarial activities reduce competition, increase monopolization in this area, increase the cost of services, and in some areas lead to a lack of notaries, resulting in the greatest consumer suffering (in particular, the inability to obtain the service or set a very high price for the service). The scientific work examines the scientific positions of scientists on the understanding of permitting services of public authorities and in particular permitting services by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine in the field of notaries. It is proved that the content of the procedure for providing licensing services by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine in the field of notaries is a procedure of consideration and resolution of individual (separate) cases regulated by the norms of administrative procedure in order to form and implement state policy in the field of notaries by issuing, to a natural person (citizen of Ukraine, notary, official of a local self-government body) of a permit document, which has an individual character. The classification of permitting services by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine in the field of notaries depending on the type and subject of activity has been carried out. The definition and highlights of the main features of permitting services by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine in the field of notaries are given. It is determined that the features of the permitting service of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine in the field of notary are: 1) the legally defined subject of providing permitting services in the field of notary; 2) the purposefulness of the purpose of providing licensing services in the field of notaries - the establishment in society of the rule of law, trust in law and justice; 3) is public authority, by-law and takes place in a legally defined procedure for granting a permit; 4) aimed at the implementation by the subject of the appeal of legal rights, obligations and interests in the field of notary; 5) provides for the observance and fulfillment of legally defined requirements by the subject of the appeal; 6) the final result - a permit.

The scientific article considers the issue of modern understanding of the essence of the principle of dispositiveness in the criminal proceedings of Ukraine, as well as its classification in scientific sources. At the beginning, the author emphasizes the importance of the existence of the principle of dispositiveness in criminal proceedings and its impact on the implementation of the rights and freedoms of participants in criminal proceedings. On the basis of the defined criteria the classification of dispositiveness in criminal proceedings is carried out: 1) on the maintenance - social, material and formal (procedural); 2) according to the methods of connection of elements in the structure of dispositiveness - horizontal (equal-order) and vertical (different-order); 3) by enshrining dispositive norms in the substantive or procedural law - substantive and procedural; 4) on the generality of powers used by the subjects of dispositive rights - general, group and exclusive powers (the right to the last word of the defendant); 5) on the subordination of rights and freedoms (legal provisions) of the subjects of dispositiveness - the main provisions, provisions that ensure the implementation of the basic; 6) depending on the scope of powers granted to participants in criminal proceedings, for a certain period of time - static and dynamic; 7) depending on how many participants in the criminal proceedings are endowed with dispositiveness in a particular criminal proceeding - unilateral and bilateral; 8) depending on the mechanism of realization of dispositive rights - constitutive and situational; 9) for the subject of dispositive rights - suspect, defense counsel, accused, legal representatives, victim, civil plaintiff, civil defendant, witnesses, etc. The author of the study formulates the definition of dispositiveness in the criminal proceedings of Ukraine - it is a conscious need for active and purposeful activities of entities endowed with dispositive rights, the implementation of which affects the emergence, change or termination of criminal procedural relations and aims to defend their own or representative interests.
