Конституційні засади юрисдикції цивільних судів
Get PDFThe article is devoted to the essence and content of the constitutional bases of jurisdiction of the civil courts. With the Law of Ukraine «On the Amendments to the Constitution of Ukraine (on the part of Justice)» the amendments to the Article 124 of the Constitution of Ukraine as for the determination of judicial jurisdiction are being introduced. Regarding the circumstances above in the scientific article the questions of the constitutional principles of civil courts jurisdiction are studied considering the legislator’s modern view on the sphere of jurisdiction as the sphere of judicial organs activity which consider and resolve civil disputes. At the theoretical level the similar but not equal concepts of ‘jurisdiction’ and ‘competence’ are studied. Understanding the content of the mentioned categories can also have practical value as the Chapter 2 of the CPC of Ukraine defines the content of civil jurisdiction through the view of the courts’ competence as for the resolution of civil cases (Art. 15 of the CPC of Ukraine). Some attention in the work is paid to the correlation of civil jurisdiction with the determination of a fair trial according to the Art. 6 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.In addition to the foregoing the subject of the study in the present scientific article is the definition of the legal dispute content with which the Constitution of Ukraine in the new edition binds with the necessity to establish the competence of the courts as for the possibility to resolve a case. However, the abovementioned constitutional provision in the new version provides for the possibility of consideration by courts other cases, the content of which, based on the analysis of these regulatory requirements, do not necessarily contain controversial features. This current version of the constitutional provision necessitates new thinking about the content and significance of judicial jurisdiction despite of the presence of relatively numerous dissertations on these issues which were performed, considering the content of art. 124 of the Constitution of Ukraine before the amendments to the mentioned provision by the Law of Ukraine «On Amendments to the Constitution of Ukraine (on justice)» on June 2, 2016 were introduced.Considering the above in the work the conclusion is made that jurisdiction should be understood as the subjective characteristics of the judicial or jurisdictional organ which has the authority to resolve legal matters. Based on this the civil court jurisdiction is characterized as subjective competence of courts to consider and resolve civil cases as determined by the civil procedural law. Taking into account the European Court of Human Rights practice the author singles out the most characteristic features of a ‘dispute’ based on the content of the Art. 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. It is noted that a dispute must relate to «civil rights and obligations»; the courts can decide a dispute only if there is the latter; a dispute may relate not only to the existence of a right but also to its scope or the manner in which it should be used.The definition on the theoretical level of the content of civil courts jurisdiction is linked by the author with the legal opinion of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, which positively approved the distribution of the courts jurisdiction on all legal relations arising in the state. In this regard, the position, according to which the civil courts jurisdiction can only be spread to the cases of civilistic character, with the signs of a dispute on the civil right can hardly be considered as fair. Following this, it is concluded that consideration of the categories of civil cases, the content of which is not of a disputed nature should be referred to civil courts jurisdiction contents and civil justice as a whole. Such position is proved by the constitutional provision and the Art. 15, part 2 of the CPC of Ukraine which allow to refer to the courts competence the possibility to resolve other types of cases determined by the procedural law.Раскрыты сущность и содержание конституционных основ юрисдикции гражданских судов.

Get PDFProblem setting. The low level of road safety remains in recent years in Ukraine in comparison with the countries of the European Union. From road traffic accidents there are significant human, social and economic losses ($4.5 billion per year), widespread of injuries and disabilities among population and a decline in labor productivity, which requires an increase of emergency medical and pharmaceutical costs.Recent research and publications analysis. To the research of the problem concerning the prevention, detection and combating of crimes committed by persons under the influence of psychoactive substances, investigation of criminal cases with the use of forensic methods, protection of the constitutional rights of citizens devoted the publications of Borisov V.Y., Hetman A.P., Golin V.V., Zhuravel V.A., Konovalova V.O., Tatsiy V.Y., Shepitko V.Y., who suggested conducting multidisciplinary study of the mentioned problem. To the questions of medical treatment and pharmaceutical provision to various categories of citizens devoted the publications of Volokh D.S., Efremova A.A., Linsky I.V., Maruta N.O., Marchenko V.G., Minko O.I., Ponomarenko M.S., Sosin I.K., Tikhonov O.I., Tolochko V.M., Khvisyuk O.M., Chernykh V.P., however, there were no multidisciplinary studies concerning forensic and pharmaceutical, forensic and medical, forensic and narcological, forensic and criminal study of causes and conditions of road traffic accidents under the influence of psychoactive substances.Paper objective. The purpose of the work is to review of the situation in Ukraine as a result of road traffic accidents, which were committed under the influence of the psychoactive substances of various classification and legal groups.Paper main body. An analysis of UN and WHO data from 180 countries suggests that as of 2015, the total number of fatal cases due to road traffic accidents is 1.25 million per year and 50 million citizens are injured with varying degrees of severity. According to the forecasts by 2030, among the causes of all fatal cases, namely the death of a person as a result of road traffic accident, will be the seventh in the significance of the cause of death. It is important to note that the high rate of deaths (up to 90%) as a result of road traffic accidents observed in low-income countries. At the same time, experts point out that estimates of the cost of citizens suffering from injuries of various degrees (injuries, chronic illnesses, etc.) as a result of road traffic accidents account for approximately 3% of their gross national product, and this figure will increase to 5% in countries with low and middle-income citizens. One of the harsh reasons for road traffic accidents is to locate road users in the state of alcohol, narcotic intoxication or under the influence of the psychoactive substances. The risk of being involved in road traffic accident significantly increases with the concentration of alcohol in the blood at a rate of 0.04 ppm.Conclusions of the research. From the position of pharmaceutical law and forensic pharmacy reviewed the situation concerning the road traffic accidents, happened with drivers in the state of alcohol intoxication, narcotic influence or other psychoactive substances abuse to improve the criminal and law methods for combating of such accidents, as well as the application of social, economic, medical and pharmaceutical (emergency) measures to protect the rights of affected citizens and criminals. Proposed legislative initiatives to increase criminal liability for driving under the influence of drugs (to the Article 286 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and improvement of the term "road traffic accident" in the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of 10 October 2001 No. 1306 "Concerning the road traffic rules".В статье проведен углубленный судебно-фармацевтический обзор совершения дорожно-транспортных происшествий, причинами которых является управление транспортными средствами в состоянии алкогольного опьянения или под воздействием психоактивных веществ.

Щодо визначення терміна «митні спори»
Get PDFThe article is devoted to the essential features and forming a customs dispute the definition of «customs dispute.» This makes it possible to determine the range of legal disputes, which are set by customs and types of legal disputes directly or indirectly related to the implementation of the state customs but does not belong to the customs disputes.The customs disputes are closely related to administrative disputes. The legal conflict between a natural or legal person, on the one hand, and the subject of power authority, on the other, is conditioned by the latter's management functions, which can be resolved both in judicial and extrajudicial (administrative) order [6, p. 24]. In our opinion, it can be argued that customs disputes can be resolved both in judicial and extrajudicial (administrative) order. And, speaking of the judicial procedure for resolving customs disputes, we mean the decision of them in the order of administrative proceedings. A direct confirmation of this is a generalization of the practice of the application by the administrative courts of the provisions of the Customs Code of Ukraine in the version of 13.03.2012, recommended in 2017 by the Plenum of the Supreme Administrative Court of Ukraine to judges of administrative courts to take into account when considering cases [7]. This is due to the fact that, as was established above, the obligatory party to customs disputes are the bodies of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine or their officials authorized to carry out state customs business. In any case, these subjects are the bearers of power and customs disputes (taking into account the statistical data given in this generalization of judicial practice) are usually associated with improper implementation of such power authority.Статья посвящена установлению сущностных признаков таможенного спора и определению термина «таможенный спор».

The choice of the form of a codification act primarily depends on the authority that issued it. In connection with this, it should be emphasized that the provision of any codification act is more legal in relation to other normative legal acts, since, for example, the rules, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, can not be in the hierarchical structure above, Than the code adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

In addition, they do not pose a heavy burden on the state budget, do not affect the external debt of the state. The inflow of foreign investment can be considered one of the indicators of openness of the economy and its high competitiveness.In China it is believed that the consumption of investment and exports is a "triple", which brings the Chinese economy to the new frontiers. The regulatory framework for foreign investment in China consists of the following basic legislative acts: laws "On Joint Ventures with Chinese and Foreign Capital", "On Companies with Foreign Capital", etc., as well as a significant number of sub-legislative normative documents (instructions, instructions etc).The problematic aspects in the field of investment are: the complexity of tax collection, the lack of a regulated dispute resolution system, and most importantly, the lack of investor protection, primarily the lack of protection of intellectual property rights.As a result of reforms and the implementation of the openness policy, China has achieved tremendous success in the field of investment regulation, as well as radically reformed the legislative framework in the field of investment activity.

Корупція в системі держави Україна: формалізація проблем на засадах методики системного аналізу
Get PDFCorruption has become a real threat to the independence of the Ukrainian state. Developing effective measures to prevent it is a challenge for the future existence of the country.System engineering is a recognized methodology for solving problems in systems. Our own experience confirms the prospect of using a systematic approach to solving the problem of corruption.Formulating a problem is a mandatory step in any scientific research. Therefore, the task of our work, we determined the formalization of the problem of corruption on the basis of system engineering.The problem is the discrepancy between the desired (existing, expected, compulsory) state of things in the system and the results of its functioning.The results of their own work substantiate three problems, which are caused by corruption in the state system of Ukraine, and construct their verbal models.The first problem. In connection with corrupt acts, the normative functionality of state entities with equal, unbiased and free access of the population to social benefits is replaced by their optional and selective functionality (according to the personal interests of corrupt persons). But the actual functionality of the state system of Ukraine is problematically not consistent with its official purpose. And corruption in the state of Ukraine replaces its official appointment (guaranteeing human rights and freedoms) to another - guaranteeing personal interests and the needs of corrupt officials.The second problem caused by corruption is the problem of interaction of the state system of Ukraine with its environment.The third problem caused by corruption is the problem of inconsistency of the structure, composition and processes of interaction of certain parts of the system of the state of Ukraine with the aims of its creation.

Проблеми забезпечення безпеки України в контексті політики НАТО щодо Російської Федерації
Get PDFThe crisis inUkraineis a potential turning point in Euro-Atlantic security. The European security landscape is changing, the crisis creates new security realities during the twenty-first century and requires a significant response from NATO. At the same time, however, the crisis is the crystallisation of a number of wider and longer-term problems that have been increasingly visible for some time, most notably the intensifying sense of strategic dissonance betweenRussiaand the West.Indeed, today’s crisis illuminates very clearly the point thatMoscowunderstands European security in very different conceptual terms from the West.The article states that NATO during the past 20 years – up to the Ukrainian crisis – has consideredRussiaa partner with which theAlliancecould cooperate. However, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict changed these relations.Years 2014–2017 witnessed rising levels of instability and complexity in the Eastern Partnership region caused by both internal and external factors. It is in the strategic and current interests of the Euro-Atlantic community to support the countries of Eastern Europe, includingUkraine, in their strife for peace, security, maintenance of sovereignty and continuing their paths towards successful democratic transition.The American commitment to European defense lies at the heart of the transatlantic bargain that defines NATO.Washingtonreacted to the end of the Cold War by significantly reducing its troop presence in the European theatre. Simultaneously it made clear that at the institutional level no other organization could substitute for the Atlantic Alliance as the anchor of a newEuropean security order.NATO's ties withRussiaandUkrainemay be depicted as a triangle, with each leg representing a significant set of bilateral interactions. But the relationship as a whole has a larger importance, and is integral to the effort to recast NATO's post-Cold War responsibilities. NATO's ties with theRussian Federation, burdened by a legacy of rivalry and distrust, are of particular salience. TheAlliance's agenda for a transformed Euro-Atlantic security order cannot be fulfilled without Russian engagement.Ukrainedefines a "European Choice" as the central pillar of its foreign policy, but it is constrained by a legacy of backwardness, and by a complex relationship with its Russian neighbor. Though it is a troubled polity, as a major regional powerUkraineis too important for theAllianceto ignore. If these relationships develop and prosper, theAlliance's potential as a collective security forum can be realized to the full, and its vocation as a “zone of peace” will be greatly expanded.The article defines the factors which couse the nessecity of renovation of the NATO’s Strategy on security support in Eastern Europe, particulary in Ukraine. And the directions of such renovation are outlined.Исследуются вопросы, связанные с влиянием отношений НАТО – Россия на обеспечением безопасности Украины.

Модельні статути господарських товариств за законодавством України та Великої Британії: порівняльна характеристика
Get PDFIntroduction. In 2011, the legal system ofUkraine introduced a previously unknown principle of state registration of business entities based on the model articles of association, borrowed from the law of theUnited Kingdom. It should be noted that the expected popularity inUkraine has not been achieved. At the same time, most of the major types of companies are successfully operating in theUK under the model articles of association. For this reason, the author refers to the experience of legislative regulation of model articles of association in theUK.Recent research and publications analysis. The issue of model articles of association is rised in the scientific works of such Ukrainian academics as T. I. Brovchenko, K. V. Kovalenko, O. R. Kibenko, I. V. Lukach, and others. At the same time, the legal regulation of model articles of association in theUK after the corporate law reform2006 in domestic science was not studied and its comparative characteristic with Ukrainian legislation was not carried out.Paper objective. The purpose of this article is to analyze the legal regulation of model articles of association in theUK andUkraine, their comparative characteristics, as well as the formulation of appropriate proposals for the improvement of domestic legislation in this area.Paper main body. The article examines the legislative regulation of model articles of association of business companies in theUK andUkraine. It is determined that it has significant differences, in particular, in the application of model articles of association. So, section 20 of the UK Companies Act 2006 as a general rule provides default application of model articles of association, unless the founders of the company expressed another intention. The company may exclude the use of a Model Articles by indicating this in its own articles of association or by including in it provisions that in other way than the Model articles regulate corporate relations. Otherwise, the model articles of association according to section 20 of the Companies Act 2006 form part of the company's articles. InUkraine, the model articles of association of a limited liability company, pursuant to the legislation, is applied by the will of the founders, which takes the form of a decision about formation of a business entity.Since 2008, theUKhas three sets of different Model Articles for three most common types of companies – public and private companies limited by shares, and a private company limited by guarantee. Unlike Ukrainian legislation, the British Companies Act 2006 provides the application of the amendments of model articles by regulations that were in force on the day of the company's registration. In accordance with this principle, the model articles of association provided for in Table A issued under the 1985 Companies Act and earlier versions continue to apply in theUK.It is noted that the introduction of model articles of association inUkrainehas caused a lot of legal conflicts. It is suggested that the model articles of association for the lack of information individualizing company cannot be considered inUkraineas a company's constitution.Conclusions of the research. The introduction of a model articles of association such as the British into the legal system ofUkraine is difficult to estimate unambiguously. Remaining it in the domestic legal system requires significant improvement of the legal regulation, in particular, the urgent regulation of the issue of application of changes introduced into the Model Articles of association by the Cabinet of Ministers.Исследовано законодательное регулирование модельных уставов хозяйственных обществ в Украине и Великобритании.
