Journal Title: Часопис цивілістики - Year 2018, Vol 30, Issue

Abstract

The article deals with the principle of good faith with the right to honor and dignity. In accordance with Part 4 of Art. 13 of the Civil Code of Ukraine: “in the exercise of civil rights, a person must observe the moral principles of society”. This points to the great importance of morality in the exercise of civil rights and, at the same time, places on the agenda the question of its relationship with the law. All legal norms are subject to a moral assessment, but not all relationships regulated by the rules of morality are regulated by law. This is especially true for the civil law regulation of the subjective right to respect the dignity and honor of the individual. In addition, it should be noted that the concept of “dignity” and “honor” are not defined in the norms of the law, but developed in the scientific literature on the basis of ethical categories. Conclusions Thus, the exercise of the right to honor and dignity can be characterized as follows: 1) the content of the subjective right to dignity and business reputation consists of several rights (possession, use, disposal); 2) carried out by a person independently, regardless of the will of other persons; 3) the right to honor and dignity is protected by the Constitution of Ukraine as the highest social value and cannot be limited; 4) should take place within the limits defined in the norms-principles – good faith, reasonableness, and justice. Integrity can be defined as the desire to conscientiously protect civil rights and ensure the fulfillment of civil obligations. Business is a reflection of the needs of the public interest in harmonizing economic relations. The principle of conscientiousness is used not only as a regulator of relations, it is also a criterion for assessing compliance with the positive law established by the parties legal norms. Without the existence of the principles of natural law it would be impossible to apply sanctions for breach of contract, one of the obligatory grounds for the recognition of abuse of the right is violation of the principle of good faith. Integrity is seen as a systemic principle of civil law in Ukraine. The role of morality in defining the categories of honor and dignity is considered. The definition of the right to honor and dignity, its subjective content is given. The conclusion is made on the need to take into account the principle of good faith in the exercise of the right to honor and dignity.
