Analysis examines compliance with civil law amid economic crises, highlighting social and regulatory challenges.
The study aimed to analyse the main factors affecting compliance with civil law during the economic crisis. The study was based on an analysis of external factors such as political stability, economic development, social conditions, technological progress, environmental challenges and the effectiveness of the regulatory framework. The study included a content analysis of the regulatory framework of the EU and Ukraine on crisis response; a PESTEL analysis of factors (political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal) to determine the effectiveness of crisis response; and case studies of European companies Lexbase (Sweden), Walltopia (Bulgaria) and Vedanta (UK), which demonstrated typical violations of labour and environmental legislation in the context of the economic crisis. Based on the analysed experience, the study concluded that although some companies view violations of civil law as a way to remain competitive during economic instability, the long-term results of such a strategy are devastating in terms of reputational damage and the impossibility of sustainable development. A more effective response to economic instability involves macroeconomic measures with a focus on fiscal stimulus, monetary policy and investment in innovation; social measures aimed at expanding social protection for various segments of the population, supporting employment and ensuring access to basic services; legal instruments and measures to strengthen labour rights, anti-crisis regulatory measures and the development of anticorruption policy; integration and international support from EU member states and international partners; and strategic planning for the future, with a priority on the development of digital manufacturing and management decentralisation. The results obtained are of practical importance for the formation of a strategy for sustainable development of Ukraine aimed at minimising the effects of economic shocks and ensuring compliance with civil law even in times of deep crisis
