METHODLOGICAL ANALISYS OF INTERPRETATION OF NOTION «LEGAL ACT»
Keywords:
act, legal act, juridical act, interpretation and legal act, law enforcement actAbstract
The author suggests his own approach to conception of such general and theoretical category as “legal act”. Having considered the fact that legal act is a complex phenomenon of legal reality, complex impression of which can be received only as a result of its multi aspect examination: from the point of view of the theory of law consideration, namely, normative, sociological and valuable approaches, legal act – an expression of will of law enforcement bodies (normative and legal act) and law enforcement judicial bodies (judicial decision) should be viewed as a form of objective law; from the point of view of the theory of legal behaviour legal act is its part, an element consisting of subject and subjective aspect, object and objective aspect; from the point of view of the theory of legal facts a legal act should be viewed as lawful actions of the subjects to law aimed to receive concrete legal results; from the point of view of legal instruments a legal act is a written bearer of legal information about the rules of behaviour of general character, about the rules of their understanding or about legal precepts, that have in gross character; from the point of view of the theory of legal activities a legal act should be understood as a result of lawmaking, law enforcement and law implementation activities; from the point of view of interrelation with the process of legal regulation a legal act is a legal means due to which the behaviour of the subjects is brought in accordance with the requirements of the legal standards. Having considered the above-mentioned facts, should be differentiated two approaches as to conception of the studied category: Legal act (in its wider sense) is the expression of will of capable subjects to law objectivated in verbal documentary form creating juridical consequences; Legal act (in its narrower sense) is provided by the state and accepted as legitimate by the civil society, formally mandated will expression of public authorities, their service and official persons, that has official character, exercises just from the point of view of the majority of the population regulatory or protective influence upon the behaviour of the subjects to law and creates legal consequences. Having considered etymological aspect of the term “juridical act” it is possible to suggest the following definition of the category: a juridical act is provided by the state formally mandatory will expression of judicial agencies having official character, exercises regulatory or protective influence upon behaviour of the subjects to law creating provided by the law juridical consequences in order to affirm legal order.
