Introduction: the history of legal regulation is connected with the problem of fairness of legal norms (this question was raised in the politico-legal concepts of antiquity, the Middle Ages, New Era and contemporary times). Nowadays, in the context of legislative reforms and search for a balance between private and public interests, the question of fairness has not lost its significance. Not only legal theorists face this question, but legislator comes across it when determining the direction of the legislative deve-
lopment. The same question arises when law enforcer has to solve certain legal dispute. The main goal of this research is to determine the value of fairness in the private-law regulation of social relations.
Methods: the systematic analysis of the «fairness» category in the aspect of its impact on the modern state of private-law regulation acts as a determining method of the research. This particular method was chosen because it allows revealing the integrity and complex nature of the category under study. Apart from the systematic analysis, during the research general scientific dialectical method of cognition and special methods of investigation (formally legal, comparative law research, method of legal modeling) were also used.
Analysis: in the framework of study the main tendencies of private law development in the modern economic and political conditions from the perspective of general legal and private-law approaches have been investigated, inter alia the issue of searching the balance in private and public, personal and common interests in various scopes of private law application.
Results: the authors come to the conclusion that the category of fairness is multidimensional. On the one hand, it can serve as a private law principle that stems from the extensive principle of law fairness, and, on the other hand, being the reflection of social compromise, should serve as a criterion of the effectiveness of the private-law regulations on the national and international level.
Introduction: modern legal science and practice is aimed at the need to ensure and develop law and order both at the level of individual countries and at the level of the entire world community as a whole. At the same time, it is obvious that private-law relations occupy a significant place in the structure of legal relations. That is why it seems interesting to examine the main trends in the influence of private law on the development of law and order as such, to identify the main forms of such influence, to determine the directions for the development of private law and to make recommendations on the possibilities for improving private-law regulation on a national and international scale.
Methods: the system method was chosen as the determining method for studying the trends in the development of basic private law institutions from the standpoint of the norms of Russian and international legislation. The choice of the system approach as the determining method of investigation is due to the fact that it is this method that makes it possible to reveal the integrity of the developing object, which is the rule of law, to reveal the interrelationships of individual institutions and private law rules with each other and the legal system as such.
Analysis: the study examined the main trends in the development of private law in the current economic and political environment, in addition to aspects of the general part of civil law, including explored the scope of intellectual property, private-public partnerships, corporate relations. The problems of stimulating innovative development by means of private law were touched upon, as well as recommendations on the use of private law mechanisms to protect the national interests of the Russian Federation.
Results: in the course of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to formulate a clear and well thought out concept of private law, which should combine public and private interests in the legal regulation of public relations. The creation of such a concept, oriented to practical application, should become the main task of modern civil science.
