MECHANISM OF CIVIL-LAW REGULATION OF RELATIONS FOR THE PROVISION OF PAID EDUCATIONAL SERVICES BY HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN UKRAINE

The paper defines the specifics of the mechanism of civil-law regulation of relations for the provision of paid educational services by higher education institutions in Ukraine. At the same time, civil-law regulation is understood as a special legal influence on the behavior of participants in public relations, that are included in the subject of civil law as a branch of law. Special legal influence on the behavior of participants in relations on the provision of paid educational services by higher education institutions in Ukraine is carried out through a system of certain legal means, among which in the most general form one can distinguish: civil law norms, personalized individual acts of an autonomous nature (including contracts), personalized individual acts of a power nature (acts of application of law). However, the said civil-law influence cannot occur automatically. In this case, a certain mechanism for carrying out civil rights should be used, the functional purpose of which is to ensure the realization of the powers that make up the content of said rights, and the fulfillment of relevant subjective duties. It has been found that in order to characterize the mechanism of civil-law regulation of relations with the provision of paid educational services by higher education institutions in Ukraine, it is important to take into account the systemic and logical interrelations that exist between the norms of civil law enshrined in various normative legal acts. And this is directly confirmed in the current legislation, in particular in Art. 2 of the Law of Ukraine «On Higher Education», which directly states that «the legislation on higher education is based on the Constitution of Ukraine and consists of the laws of Ukraine «On Education», «On Scientific and Scientific-Technical Activities», this Law and other normative legal acts, international treaties of Ukraine concluded in the manner established by law». It has been substantiated that all the norms of law aimed at civil-law regulation of relations with the provision of paid educational services by higher education institutions in Ukraine should not contradict the general principles of civil legislation defined in Art. 3 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, since they are the basic construction that allows civil law to function as a system of norms of law.
