Conflicts between civil, labour and family law provisions: Ways to improve legal regulation


Abstract

The relevance of the study lies in the existence of numerous conflicts between the norms of civil, labour and family law in Ukraine, which complicate law enforcement, create contradictory judicial practice and reduce the level of trust in the legal system. The aim of this work was to identify the most significant conflicts in these areas of law and to formulate practical proposals for their elimination or minimisation of negative consequences. The study used a method of paired comparisons based on the preference of options in combination with expert analysis. This methodological combination ensured an objective ranking of the identified conflicts and their generalisation based on the professional experience of experts. Nine legal conflicts were analysed, three for each area of law. Based on a survey of fifteen experts from various fields of law, a matrix of pairwise comparisons was formed and weighting coefficients of significance were calculated. It was established that in the field of civil law, the most significant conflict is that concerning the civil capacity of minors. In labour law, the key issue identified is the dismissal of pregnant women and mothers with young children. In family law, the priority is the conflict concerning the regime of marital property in the context of corporate rights. As a result, specific areas for improving legislation were proposed, taking into account the results of modelling and expert analysis. The results of the study can be used in the development of draft laws, as well as in the law enforcement practice of judicial system employees, scientists and lawyers in the process of harmonising legal norms and strengthening legal security
