Transformation of legal regulation of public relations in the context of the pandemic

Abstract

The article examines the problems of legal regulation of the activities of legal entities and relations. The main characteristics of legal regulation, such as the subject, method, methods and types of legal regulation, are analyzed. Currently, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the legal regulation of public relations is undergoing serious transformational changes. A significant change in the subject of legal regulation, due to the creation of a situation of serious threat to public health, forced the legislator to introduce restrictions on the fundamental rights and freedoms of legal entities, as well as to the preferential use of prohibitions and positive obligations as ways to regulate public relations. In this regard, the permissive type of legal regulation of public relations begins to dominate, which is based on the principle of everything is prohibited, except what is directly permitted by law. The above clearly indicates a clear transformation of legal regulation.
