Legal technique of normative and contractual legislation

Abstract

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to reveal the features of the legal technique of normative-contractual law-making of modern Ukraine. Methodology. First of all, the principles and techniques of formal-logical methodology are used. Elements of the structural-functional approach have been widely used. Thus, the identification of intersectoral relations in the normative-contractual form of state functions is based on the functional nature of law in general and contractual and regulatory means in particular, which allowed to distinguish two types of intersectoral relations in contractual and regulatory activities. In addition, dialectical, system-structural and functional methods, the method of interpretation (applied to regulations) were used in the work. The scientific novelty lies in the theoretical understanding and delineation of the legal technique of normative-contract law-making, which is interpreted as an integral harmonious part of the law-making system in a state governed by the rule of law. It is shown how with the help of means and methods of legal technique there is an optimization of contractual work and minimization of risks of disputes caused by vagueness and internal inconsistency of contracts. Results. As a result of research the inexpediency of identification of the contract with the regulatory legal act and its inclusion in the system of the legislation is argued. The regulatory role of the contract likens it to a legal act. A normative agreement can be both a consequence of a law and a cause of a normative legal act. Practical importance. The results of the study can be used in law-making activities in order to improve the design of the regulatory agreement, improve its quality and efficiency.
