Короткий опис(реферат):
Розглянуто зміст положень законодавства України про нотаріат стосовно обмеження у праві
вчинення нотаріальних дій. Встановлено, що закріплені у ст. 9 Законі України «Про нотаріат» норми
не відповідають тим вимогам, заборонам та обмеженням, що встановлені Законом України «Про
запобігання корупції» до нотаріусів як осіб, які надають публічні послуги, на яких поширюються
вимоги щодо запобігання та врегулювання конфлікту інтересів у професійній діяльності під час
вчинення нотаріальних дій. Основні пропозиції у статті стосуються змін та доповнень профільного
закону про нотаріат з метою узгодження його з положеннями антикорупційного законодавства. The
article is devoted to the study of the current state and the determination of directions for improving the legal
regulation of restrictions on the right to perform notarial acts. It has been established that the Law of Ukraine
«On Notaries» contains restrictions on the right to perform notarial acts, their content is that a notary is not
entitled to perform notarial acts only in certain cases. It is noted that the restriction on the right to perform
notarial acts on this basis refers to the rules of professional ethics of a notary, which interpret the considered
restriction on the right to perform notarial acts more broadly than is provided for by the relevant law. It has
been proven that according to the Law of Ukraine «On Prevention of Corruption», notaries are classified
as persons who provide public services and are subject to requirements for the prevention and settlement
of conflicts of interest. At the same time, the limits of private interest that a notary must take into account
when performing notarial actions are much wider than those established in a special law. It is noted that the
Law «On Notaries» is not the only normative legal act that defines its own rules regarding the sphere of
private interest during the performance of professional duties related to the provision of public services,
similar narrowed legal regulation of this restriction is also contained in the laws , which regulate the
activities of public and private contractors, appraisers, auditors and other persons who provide public services.
Based on the analysis of the norms of the Law of Ukraine «On Notaries» it is proved that the
restriction on the right to perform notarial acts concerns only the personal and, in part, family relations of
the notary, which are associated with a conflict of interests at the level of departmental legal regulation in
terms of violation of the rules of professional ethics, in while the provisions of the Law of Ukraine «On
Prevention of Corruption» apply to the notary public, whose private interest is much broader than that
declared in the relevant law, which does not contribute to a clear understanding of situations when a notary
public has refrain from performing notarial acts. Taking into account the above, specific changes are
proposed to the Law of Ukraine «On Notaries» in order to bring it into line with the provisions of the anticorruption legislation.
