Abstract

Abstract Modern aspirations of Ukraine for European integration, the impact of globalization, and innovative technologies are the driving force on the path of reforming the national legal system. In this regard, issues concerning the modernization of the civil liability have recently become of significant importance. This article is aimed at analysing modernization of Ukrainian civil liability and forecasting tendencies of further reform of the civil liability institution in Ukraine. The methodological basis of the article includes the comparative law method, normative-dogmatic method, method of terminological analysis, method of operationalization of concepts, classification method, methods of analysis and synthesis, statistical method, legal modelling method, and complex method. In the course of the research-leading scientific and legal approaches to civil liability were analysed, and the most typical approaches were unified. A conditional list of the leading directions of modernization of legal regulation of the civil liability institution is proposed. The relevance of the subject matter is amplified by the fact that at present the scope of the most important and reforming issues of civil liability is expanding and remains either understudied or entirely disregarded by the representatives of academia and legislators.
