Problems of Abuse of Law and Abuse of Procedural Law in the Field of Domestic Legislation.

The article analyzes scientific concepts regarding the legal nature of abuse of law and abuse of procedural law. It is noted that the debate on the use of the term "abuse of law" has been going on since the times of Roman law, the basis of which was the principle of protecting virtuous behavior. In order to study the historical development of the application of the abuse of rights process, the international practice of Austria, France and Germany was analyzed. It was found that, unlike French legislation, Germany has achieved more significant success in researching the problem of abuse of rights. The German concept of abuse of law boils down to understanding this phenomenon as not just a formal violation, but a significant deviation from the principles of justice and good faith. A study of the decisions of the ECHR quite logically proves that the criteria for abuse of rights are not defined in the Convention, but in the decisions of the ECHR, which decides in each specific case based on precedents that have generally formed a system of cases of abuse of rights. It is outlined that today's perception of the meaning of abuse of law in the domestic legal field indicates the fact that when studying this phenomenon, one group of scientists completely denies this concept and considers it a contradiction, while other researchers interpret the term as "the use of law for evil" in those cases, when an authorized entity is endowed with a subjective right, acts within its limits, but causes some harm to the rights of other individuals or society. Based on the legal analysis, it was found that the terms "abuse of law" and "abuse of procedural law" have a certain difference, which is traced in the areas of application, subjects, objects, legal principles and legal consequences. The practice of the Supreme Court quite naturally proves that abuse of procedural rights is understood as a form of intentional, unscrupulous actions of the participants in the process, which finds its expression, in particular, in the commission of actions disproportionate to the consequences to which they may lead. The conducted research made it possible to state, despite the polarity of views on the abuse of law, that this phenomenon is formed as a holistic legal phenomenon, which, from a theoretical and legal perspective, is not only possible, but also capable of strengthening the rule of law, which is confirmed by domestic and world practice and is recognized as necessary and useful.
