The article is based on the existing law doctrine of division of law into private and public. The author analyses the influence of the doctrine on the relationships that arise in the financial services markets. The author takes into account the results of researches conducted by domestic and foreign scholars, which were carried out in the field of law and economics. The author uses general scientific and special methods as those that form the basis of the work. The research substantiates that objectively the doctrine dividing law into private and public does not exist. Doctrine is the product of a sociocultural interpretation of the researcher's thinking process. At the same time, the doctrine is naturally refers to the structure of the financial market. The author analyses the internal mechanism of circulation of cash flows and settlements in the global financial market. This analysis is the empirical basis for the research and subsequent theoretical understanding. The author proves that the concept of separation of rights into private and public law is not a universal concept that is inherent in all countries. The doctrine is fundamental only in the countries with Romano-Germanic legal system. The idea of dividing law into private and public was not reflected at the doctrine level in the countries with Anglo-Saxon legal system. The problem of the substitution of concepts was enrooted directly in the very doctrine of law, which existed in Soviet times. It was connected with the absence of the concept of "private law" in the Soviet legal thinking. The idea of social justice changes beyond recognition in the direction of public law. The author focuses on the issue of how to ensure the sustainable development of the financial system and its main institutions (structures) using the theoretical concept of dividing law into private and public. The author emphasizes the need to take into account the diversity of legal understanding of the financial market as a social phenomenon. The research methodology should be as appropriate as possible to the research object. The idea of social justice should act as a regulator of mutual relations between members of society. Practical activity in the financial markets in the modern world tends to converge. Public law assumes the fulfilment of a social function. Therefore, the author comes to the conclusion that law is a means of reaching a compromise between members of society, provided that individual freedom is preserved and there is no need to oppose private law to public law. The author proves that European political and legal standards are built on such postulates, particularly concerning the field of calculations. Keywords: financial system, financial services markets, settlement relations, the doctrine of separation of rights into private and public.

The article is concerned with problem of interpretation the public and private law. At the beginning of the article the author describes the imperfection of approaches to differentiation.The article examines the topical issue of general theory of law, which contains a delicate phenomenon that has existed for a long time, but during all this time has not developed a common understanding of its basic parameters, and therefore remain controversial theoretical foundations for construction and operation. Its existence raises a number of very important questions about properties for the legal community. At the moment it is not possible to assert the presence of the same understanding of the essence of separation of the right to private and public. Different scientific schools actually offer his vision within the Ukrainian legal system and traditional doctrine. It would be wise to mention here at the present stage of development of legal matter, it is necessary to make some adjustments to the traditional theory of law, as well as some provisions of the law regarding the division of law into private and public. In brief each new field studied by scientists is a legal phenomenon, but when applying general theoretical conclusions to it, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the object under study in terms of the general theory of law. To conclude a pattern that allows to establish two objectively independent branches of law, linking them to the manifestations of public and private foundations, and to represent the spread of rights to private and public, as it is not just a classification, but conceptual, concerning the most fundamental rights of each place and role in human life, its defined values, continues in the theory of law today. Keywords: public law, private law, legal system, legal science, branches of law. References

The Soviet legal system did not know the division of law into private and public, because communist ideology did not recognize anything private. The end of communist experiment and transition to legal state, social market economy and respect for human rights naturally led to the need to revive private law and to further develop it; therefore in Russian jurisprudence the issue of dividing the law into private and public has become relevant. The subject is the French legal doctrine on this issue; the study is carried out on the unpublished in Russia sources. The historical roots of the basic division of law and its significance for the French legal system are in the focus. Despite the absence of rigid boundaries in this division, the theory describing it is based on the real legal reality of the Romano-Germanic family of legal systems. This theory is not abstract theorizing; it is useful for practice because it aims to maintain a balance between public law and private law regulation. The issue of basic division of law in the case law system is discussed. A comparative study of the issue in the Russian legal doctrine is conducted. The author comes to the conclusion that human rights are the common part that unites public and private law, and therefore their unity is inextricable: the abrogation of private law, as the experience of building communism in Russia showed, inevitably leads to the destruction of human rights, and then to the transformation of public law into a pseudo-legal system.

This chapter explores the relationship between private and public law. In civil law countries, the public-private distinction serves as an organizing principle of the entire legal system. In common law jurisdictions, the distinction is at best an implicit design principle and is used primarily as an informal device for categorizing different fields of law. Even if not explicitly recognized as an organizing principle, however, it is plausible that private and public law perform distinct functions. Private law supplies the tools that make private ordering possible—the discretionary decisions that individuals make in structuring their lives. Public law is concerned with providing public goods—broadly defined—that cannot be adequately supplied by private ordering. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, various schools of thought derived from utilitarianism have assimilated both private and public rights to the same general criterion of aggregate welfare analysis. This has left judges with no clear conception of the distinction between private and public law. Another problematic feature of modern legal thought is a curious inversion in which scholars who focus on fields of private law have turned increasingly to law and economics, one of the derivatives of utilitarianism, whereas scholars who concern themselves with public law are increasingly drawn to new versions of natural rights thinking, in the form of universal human rights.

In recent years, Professor Birks’ doctrine of constitutional right to restitution has become a new normative rule with respect to the issue of restitution of improperly collected taxes. Nevertheless, the new doctrine has puzzled academic scholars. Profound questions regarding the conceptual “private law-public law” location of Professor Birks’ doctrine and the current status of traditional law doctrines have arisen.This study challenges Professor Birks’ doctrine and demonstrates that despite its universal adoption, the doctrine was based on weak premises. Furthermore, based on Professor Weinrib’s legal philosophy, this study develops an alternative framework to analyze the issue of improperly collected taxes. The study shows that the “private-public” puzzle and the doctrines traditional to improperly collected taxes may be coherently explained within this legal philosophy.

Legal scholars over the last 25 years or so have experienced a growing sense of dissatisfaction with the traditional classifications that segment university curricula and legal textbooks. Contract and tort, for instance, are felt to be not so different after all. The intimate historical links between the tort of negligence and the action of assumpsit may be seen as reflecting the realitics more truly than the later doctrinal separation of voluntarily and involuntarily incurred obligations. The growing impact of public law on the exercise of privatc rights, and the interweaving of public and private law that runs through an evcn greater portion of the legal system, cause still more fundamental doubts.

Abstract This article deals with the nature of Islamic economics as a scientific paradigm which claims to be alternative to conventional economic thinking. To critically evaluate this claim, the work investigates the peculiar religious and moral principles that shape the idea of social justice in Islam. Subsequently, it outlines how Islamic economics derives from these principles a specific conceptualization of property rights and commercial relations that embraces parameters of (1) primacy of real economy; (2) transactional equilibrium; (3) and profit- and risk-sharing. By endorsing the conceptual autonomy of Islamic economics from conventional capitalism, the article also refers to the current emergence of the Islamic financial market at a global stage, and the possible implications for a plural financial system in the future.

The essay argues for the compatibility between private law and the commons. In order to do so, it proposes an archeology of modern private law, which traces both the emergence of what will be called “modern topology” and the historical transformation of civil law into what we still know as private law. Private law is considered to be a product of modern legal theory which is radically tied with public law. The two are meant to have the very same logical form—individuality—which was the premise for the social relation of capital to be established. The pivot of this legal maneuver—which ended up with the exclusion of the commons from the realm of both private and public law—was the theory of subjective rights. To dismantle this construction, the essay proposes a critique of subjective rights as well as a trans-subjective approach to private law.

Based on general legal and civilistic experience in the study of evaluative concepts, the author investigates the general and the specific in their civil law nature. As the result of the study, the author draws the conclusion that the existence of evaluative concepts forms a distinctive essential feature of civil law as private law. It is noted, however, that the doctrine, law-maker and law-enforcer need basic guidelines that will allow to define objective criteria for nominating concepts as evaluative, as well as for determining the boundaries of their systematic interpretation. Also, the author concludes that the impact of evaluation concepts on legal regulation in private and public law is different. In civil law, depending on the localization in the text of the Civil Code, it is possible to distinguish two groups of evaluation concepts. The first group includes the basic evaluation concepts that allow us to see the goals, meaning and specifics of civil law regulation. The second group, in the author’s opinion, includes peripheral evaluation concepts that are utilized by property law and separate contractual constructions and the presence of which allows to avoid unnecessary causality and, at the same time, makes it possible to bring legal regulation closer to real relations.

This chapter examines the distinction between public law and private law. It stresses the importance of being aware of this difference between the public/private and public law/private law dichotomies. The public–private divide is universal even if, from one society to another, it can be conceived differently in certain ways. All human communities have an idea about the relationship between the private sphere and the public domain. By contrast, the distinction between public law and private law is not universal. It may be ignored, rejected, or confined to a very limited sphere of operation as, traditionally, in common law systems. Conversely, the public law/private law distinction may be understood as an essential feature of the juridical world, as was the approach of Roman law, inherited by the continental legal systems.

AbstractScholarly debates in a number of Latin American and European countries have recently focused on the legal institution of punitive damages. These debates have been primarily influenced by the Anglo-American experience with the institution. The dominance of an outcome-driven, interpretive approach to an inherently complex and contradictory practice in the prevailing Anglo-American scholarship on punitive damages, however, has seriously affected and likely distorted the comparative and normative scholarly debates over the introduction of the institution in countries that follow the civil law tradition. In this article, I argue that, in order to participate more meaningfully in the punitive damages debate, civil law scholars should, on one hand, refrain from attempts to improve the understanding of the Anglo-American practice while offering country-specific assessments of the authors’ own legal system’s (in)compatibilities with the institution; and, on the other hand, actively engage in thorough discussions regarding the fundamental theoretical grounding of the place of punishment in modern private law. The novelty of this scholarly approach will require private law scholars to acknowledge both the punitive elements currently hidden yet nonetheless patent in domestic private law practices of awarding damages and the constraining effect of the pervasively proclaimed yet easily disputable clear-cut line between private and public law.
