Правовые последствия за злоупотребление правом

Abstract

The paper features the sanctions for abuse of the right to an unconscientious person (violator). The ongoing reforms of civil law in the Russian Federation allowed legislators to expand the list of sanctions that can be applied for the abuse of rights. The author introduces a classification of violators that can be punished for the abuse of the right can be applied. The current judicial practice shows that it both victim and mala fide party may assume the roles of plaintiff, defendant, and a third party in court, depending on how they use and exercise their subjective rights within the framework of civil rights. The rules of law governing the refusal to protect the right against a violator may not be applied by the court spontaneously. The author found some hidden forms of behavior of the plaintiff or defendant parties, the purpose of which is to harm the other party, to refuse to satisfy the claim of the bona fide party, i.e. illegal behavior of the defendant, or satisfaction of the claim of the unconscientious party, i.e. illegal behavior of the plaintiff. The civil-law approach to the study of actual problems of abuse of right makes it possible to clarify the essence of this legal phenomenon in the modern civil law.
