Оbjects of civil rights in the updated civil legislation: certain problems of recodification

The article draws attention to the fact that one of the fundamental institutions of civil law is the institution of objects of civil rights. The turnover of objects, the establishment of their legal regime allows in practice to apply relevant legislative norms and to carry out proper protection and protection of the rights and interests of participants in civil legal relations. Recodification of civil legislation provides an opportunity to analyze certain problems of legal regulation in a new way. Those related to the concept and features of information as an object of civil rights are no exception. The active development of information technologies, the final recognition of the value of information as a non-property good, the informatization of all spheres of social life only emphasizes the relevance of the doctrinal study of the concept and features of the object of civil rights. Active scientific interest in this area is primarily related to the existence of a large number of debatable issues, the solution of which is necessary for the further development of the doctrine of civil law and the increase in the level of application of civil law norms. Recodification of civil legislation opens an opportunity to rethink various problems of legal regulation, including those related to the types of objects of civil rights. It is also impossible to avoid the objective changes of modern times associated with the emergence of new objects of legal regulation. It is primarily about information products, information resources, information systems, cryptocurrency, personal data, artificial intelligence, digital content. Of course, information is a direct (if not the only) component of all the listed objects. That is why the expansion of the list of objects of civil rights, the cause of which is the development of civil turnover, is timely and conditioned by the needs of today. Different doctrinal approaches of scientists regarding the concept and features of objects of civil rights, gaps and conflicts in the current legislation, heterogeneity of judicial practice, Ukraine’s desire to join the European community and the need to update civil legislation determine the need to intensify research in this area.
