The article examines the procedure for considering complaints about violation of local autonomy in the Constitutional Court of Spain. The study is based on the analysis of legal regulation of such a category of cases as conflicts in defense of local autonomy and the relevant practice of the Constitutional Court of Spain. The aim of the study is to identify the features of Spanish procedure for protecting the local autonomy by means of constitutional justice, to determine the main advantages and disadvantages of the legal regulation of this procedure. As a result of the analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that the mechanism for defense of the local autonomy in the Constitutional Court of Spain is not free from significant drawbacks. Some of such drawbacks are mainly procedural, based on the relevant legal regulation (among them – excessive requirements for the municipalities or provinces in terms of the number of territorial entities authorized to lodge the complaint; the existence of some formal requirements that can be abolished without reduction in effectiveness of justice). Positions rooted in Spanish legislation and practice of the Constitutional Court of Spain regarding the place and role of local self-government bodies in the system of public authorities in some cases also have a negative impact on the limits of defense of the local autonomy. Such positions are often taken from German legal doctrine, but they are not always successfully adapted within the framework of the Spanish legal system. It seems that the drawbacks noted in the article do not allow to completely attain the aims for which local bodies were empowered to apply to the Constitutional Court of Spain. Among the advantages of the procedure for considering complaints about violation of local autonomy are the flexible approach of the legislator and the Constitutional Court of Spain to a number of issues; taking into account the historical and national (including linguistic) characteristics of Autonomous Communities; the interpretation of the disputed issues by the Constitutional Court of Spain mainly in favor of the applicants. The article formulates ideas regarding the possible improvement of the procedure for defense of the local autonomy in the Constitutional Court of Spain.

Pencabutan Pasal 67 ayat (2) huruf g pada Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2006 oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 51/Puu-Xiv/2016 menyangkut pembatasan hak mantan narapidana untuk mencalonkan diri dalam pemilihan kepala daerah tentu akan berpengaruh pada undang-undang lain. Baik undang-undang yang sudah ada maupun yang akan dibentuk karena berkaitan dengan sifat final dan mengikat pada putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi. Tahun 2017 muncul undang-undang baru yang memuat kembali pembatasan hak mantan narapidana yaitu Undang-undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017. Sehingga menarik diteliti kedudukan putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi dalam sistem hukum nasional? dan apakah kekuatan putusan Mahkamah Konstistusi bisa mempengaruhi perundang-undangan lain secara keseluruhan?. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji kedudukan putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi dalam sistem hukum nasional dan pengaruh kekuatan putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi terhadap perundang-undangan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum yuridis normatif. Penelitian yang mencakup asas-asas hukum, sistematika hukum dan taraf sinkronisasi hukum. Sumber data yang digunakan diperoleh dari penelitian perpustakaan serta informasi dari para ahli akan dianalisis dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi merupakan aturan yang memiliki peranan setingkat dengan perundang-undangan untuk dilaksanakan. Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi jelas mampu mempengaruhi semua undang-undang, sehingga undang-undang yang memuat prihal yang sama dipastikan tidak memiliki kepastian hukum. Disarankan adanya suatu aturan hukum yang mempertegas teknis implementasi putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi dalam peraturan perundang-undangan dan tersedianya suatu wadah pengujian kembali terhadap putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi.The revocation of Article 67 paragraph (2) letter g in Law No. 11 of 2006 by the Constitutional Court No. 51 / Puu-Xiv / 2016 concerning restrictions on the rights of former prisoners (ex-convicts) to involve themselves to be the candidate for local election will certainly affect other laws, both the existing laws and laws that will be formed, because they are related to the final and binding characteristic on the decisions of Constitutional Court. In 2017, new law emerged which restated about the restrictions on the rights of former prisoners, namely Law No. 7 of 2017. Thus, it is interesting to investigate the position of the Constitutional Court decision in the national legal system? And whether the power of the Constitutional Court’s decision could influence other legislations as a whole or not? This study aims to examine the position of the Constitutional Court decision in the national legal system and the influence of the power of Constitutional Court decision towards the legislation.

The source of data used in this research is obtained through library research and information from the experts will be analyzed by legislative approach and case approach. The results of this research indicate that the constitutional court decision is a rule that has the same level as the role of legislation to be implemented. The decision of the Constitutional Court is clearly capable of influencing all laws, so that the law that contains the same subject is certain to have no legal certainty. It is suggested that there should be a legal regulation that reinforces the technical implementation of the Constitutional Court Decision in legislation and the availability of a place for re-testing towards the decisions of Constitutional Court.

The article analyzes the status and prospects of judicial protection of environmental legitimate interests, analyzes the provisions of the relevant current procedural legislation, proposes the formulation of two environmental interests, the protection of which can make it possible to prevent violations of environmental safety. It is concluded that full implementation of judicial protection of selected environmental legitimate interests as an effective preventive mechanism in the investigated field may be exercised under the terms of the applicable version of procedural law. It is substantiated that the current law in the field of justice defines legitimate interests as the objects of court protection. Moreover the official understanding of the term "legitimate interest" was given by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine in 2004 in its decision from 01, December, 2004 № 18-рп/2004. Despite of this this, it is noted that national courts rarely protect environmental interests directly. This is due to the absence of clear criteria for identifying legitimate environmental interests which are not explicitly enshrined in legislation. Therefore, in the absence of a proper tradition of protecting legitimate environmental interests, courts seek to protect specific environmental rights which are rather detailed specifies in current legislation. Such a situation impedes the fulfillment of the main objective of the legal regulation of public relations for ensuring ecological security, which is to prevent possible violations in the form of harm to life or human health. In case of full implementation the practice of full protection of legitimate environmental interests (which is formally permitted by the applicable procedural legislation), the protection of such interests will be exercised until the right to environmental safety is violated, so such violations will be prevented.

In the presented article the problems of interaction between the various branches of Russian law on the basis of legal principles are considered. The author, examining such concepts as “interaction” and “interrelation” states the fact that the issue of interaction of branches of law is considered by almost all researchers only from the position of listing those branches with which their branch of law interacts. At the same time, the construction of branch norms without taking into account the principles of the branch, where and the branch, from which the legal institute is implemented, leads to conflicts. Separate attention in the work is paid to the views of V.A. Riazanovskii and other scholars on the concept of “unity of process” in the context of interaction between the principles of various branches of law. The author examines the interaction of such branches of law as civil procedural law with civil, family law, arbitration and administrative process. The article draws attention to the cases of free treatment of the legislator with the category of “principles of law”, which, in the author’s opinion, leads to significant distortions of the entire branch of law, where principles not inherent in this branch are wrongly implanted. Studying institutes of law as the main mechanism of inter-branch interaction, the author comes to the conclusion about the need for legal regulation of interaction precisely through the principles of a branch of law.

The purpose of the study is to analyze theoretical approaches to the mechanism for resolving legal conflicts, as well as to analyze its components, identify implementation problems and proposals for their elimination. The aim of the study is to improve the effectiveness of conflict prevention in draft laws, laws and other regulations. There is insufficient research on the procedure for adopting regional laws, organizing the work of regional parliaments, and public participation in the legislative process. We hope, if not to reveal, then at least to identify problematic issues that will find worthy researchers and solutions in the future. The paper notes the role of the constitutional Court of the Russian Federation as a subject of conflict-of-laws relations. It is concluded that the legislative process is directly related to the level of legal consciousness of the relevant subjects, moral attitudes, and awareness of their mission as creators of legislation. The practical significance of the research results provides a real opportunity for the competent authorities to take concrete measures aimed at removing corruption-related provisions from the regulatory legal framework.

The basis of the land registration and registration system in Ukraine is the State Land Cadastre. It reflects the subjective information on land, which accumulates as a result of land accounting. Such information is necessary primarily for the implementation of state control over the use, reproduction and protection of land. Only a legally regulated and wellmaintained process of conducting accounting and registration activities in the field of land relations can become the key to the introduction and functioning of a transparent mechanism for the circulation of land in market conditions and an effective mechanism for managing them. In this aspect, it is important to note that it is necessary to distinguish land accounting in the proper sense and land rights accounting (as a broader category compared to the first). In the context of the land registration reform and the further process of improving the State Land Cadastre, it is necessary to talk about the formation of land information relations. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Land accounting relationships are public relations that arise in connection with the activities of public authorities and local governments, which are endowed with appropriate powers to take measures to obtain, systematize and analyze information on the quantity, territorial location and use of land. The subjects of these legal relationships are landowners and land users, the state, state authorities and local selfgovernments, who are vested with the respective powers.
