Il presente articolo approfondisce la disciplina del pactum quo (o ut) minus solvatur nel diritto romano, soffermandosi, in particolar modo, sul significato che in esso assume il criterio giuridico della dignitas.
Tale pactum consentiva ai creditori ereditari - in accordo tra loro e con gli eredi - di rinunciare a parte dei propri crediti, al fine di evitare l’apertura del procedimento infamante della bonòrum vendìtio. Tuttavia, in caso di controversia tra creditori, il pretore avrebbe dovuto individuare ed imporre la volontà della maggioranza, seguendo i criteri stabiliti nel passo D. 2. 14. 8.
L’elaborato, oltre a interrogarsi sul concetto di «dignità romana» e sul rapporto tra dignitas ed uguaglianza, propone una rilettura di tali criteri alla luce dell’eredità tramandata dalla retorica antica.

Today, the implementation of rule-making activities plays a very important role in the functioning of any state. After all, there is no state in which legal norms are not created in order to regulate certain social or legal relations. However, the implementation of rule-making activities in each state has certain features that are determined by certain factors. The question of comparing these factors is of great theoretical and practical importance. Also, in connection with the active European integration of Ukraine, a theoretical analysis of rule-making in the countries of the European Union is very important in order to borrow the positive aspects of this activity. In addition, it should be borne in mind that Ukraine has long been part of the Soviet Union, where the main value was the state, not the people, in contrast to the European Union and the rule-making process was aimed to preserve it. In connection with the active European integration of Ukraine, a theoretical analysis of rule-making in general, and law-making in particular, in the European Union is very important. The above requires a detailed study of the factors influencing the implementation of rule-making in the European Union and Ukraine, as well as their comparison.

The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the legal regulation of the Ukrainian budget system and to identify ways of overcoming and preventing them. The methodological basis of the study is utilizing a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods. The methodology includes a legal analysis of current legislation, case studies, and statistical data analysis to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of the budgetary system in Ukraine. Their choice was determined by the purpose and objective of the study's research, taking into account its object and subject matter. The place of the budget system in the financial system of Ukraine is clarified. The methodological elements of the system of budget law sources, their distinction by legal force (building a hierarchy of acts of budget legislation, types of acts of budget legislation) are defined. As a result, scientific research has made it possible to characterise the specific features of the legal basis for the budget system of Ukraine.

In this paper the authors considered the concepts and principles of legal policy, the legislature of the world and in particular Ukraine, highlighted the concept of legislative policy and more. The work also studied the constitutional and legal status of parliamentary committees of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, their role in the production of legislative policy of the state; considered the work of the committee on legal policy of Verkhovna Rada. As a result, it was concluded that committees are the main organisational structure of parliament in the vast majority of modern democracies. The practice of the parliaments of many countries of the world shows that the effective implementation of the parliament's functions is possible only if the proper functioning of its committees is organised. However, in the current conditions of the Ukrainian political situation, the situation is somewhat different. In the parliament of Ukraine, which is formed of a pro-presidential majority, the role of committees in shaping legislative policy is insignificant, as it is de facto formed in the Office of the President.

The purpose of the study is to define the legal essence of freedom of contract as a principle of contract law in Ukrainian and European Union civil law. Among the main methods of analysis a comparative method was used, which enabled to conduct a comparison of the reflection of principle “freedom of contract” in the acts of Ukraine and EU law, the Ukrainian practice of protecting this principle with the legal framework of regulation and protection of the research object in other countries, in particular in EU countries; analytical method, which enabled to assess the extent of using the principle of freedom of contract and establishing limitations of its action in civil-law relations. The legal essence of the principle "freedom of contract" in the private law of Ukraine and EU countries, its reflection in the acts of Ukraine and EU law, as well as the ratio of the principle with the related concepts was determined; the practice of interpretation and application of the principle of freedom of contract in the regulation of private legal relations in Ukraine and EU countries, as well as regulation of its limitations and their consequences were analysed.

Furthermore, it was declared that the state is responsible to each individual for its activities in the implementation and protection of the rights and freedoms of the latter.

Topicality and rationale of this research stem from the fact that the modern state, which is governed by the rule of law, must have the well-adapted and properly regulated system of taxation, which takes into account both interests of taxpayers, and interests of the state. In addition, such taxation system must be ensured by and accompanied with the system of legal safeguards and guarantees, which must include both responsibility for non-observance of the tax legislation, and prevention offences in this area. Therefore, goal of this paper is to ensure disclosure and description of the main directions of the preventive work and maintenance in respect of the offences in the tax area with the help of remedies and principles of the administrative law. As concerns various methods of analysis, it was conventional analytical method, which was selected as one of the main methods and which has made it possible to estimate efficiency of the administrative measures in the course of general prophylaxis within the taxation system in order to develop specific directions of regulation and settlement of the object of research. The paper presents essence offences in the tax area both at the legislative level, and within the doctrinal environment.

È assai ricorrente notare come al socio di società a responsabilità limitata sia riservato un ruolo decisivo non solo nella governance societaria ma pure nella gestione dell’impresa. Tra i poteri del socio, che giustificano tale affermazione e danno contenuto alla detta posizione, vanno di certo annoverati quelli ad esso riconosciuti dall’art. 2476, c. 2, CC. L’analisi è volta a ricostruire i contorni e i limiti di operatività del potere di controllo assicurato al socio dalla citata disposizione.

Il libro Lezioni di Istituzioni di diritto e procedura penale raccoglie le lezioni tenute da Aldo Moro alla Facoltà di Scienze politiche della Sapienza - Università degli Studi di Roma nell’anno accademico 1975-1976.
Le Lezioni mostrano chiaramente impressi i segni del milieu culturale dell’epoca, in cui Moro iniziò a elaborare il proprio pensiero giusfilosofico e penalistico. Ciò nonostante, l’opera conserva una certa rilevanza sul piano scientifico. Non solo colma qualche significativa lacuna nella conoscenza del pensiero di Moro (ad esempio, relativamente al tradizionale problema della pena); ma aggiorna, altresì, l’analisi di alcune fondamentali questioni teoriche o politico-criminali (come, ad esempio, i limiti giuridici della potestà punitiva dello Stato), in chiave più moderna, alla luce dei principi della Costituzione della Repubblica.
