Contractual dynamics in Ukrainian civil law regulation

Abstract

The research delves into the evolving contractual dynamics within Ukrainian civil law amid European integration, quarantine measures, and martial law. Focusing on the balance between individual rights and the broader civil legal framework, the study seeks to assess the current Civil Code of Ukraine and proposes enhancements to safeguard individual rights during challenging periods, such as martial law. Various research methods were used in the study, such as analysis, synthesis, comparison, deduction, generalisation, abstraction, and formal legal research. As a result, the author has established that the current system of civil law provisions is characterised by certain shortcomings which affect certain types of activities of the subjects of these relations. The authors highlight that the process of European integration, the introduction of quarantine restrictions, and martial law in Ukraine had the most significant impact on the formation of problematic issues in the system of national civil legislation. As such, the study focuses on the general problem of regulating civil relations, namely, the legal status of a private person, as well as on specific aspects of this issue, contractual regulation and amendments to existing rules. Based on this, the author argues that the priority for addressing these issues is the development of new laws and modifications to the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine.
