Abstract

The problems of how two categories, “interest” and “good faith”, are related while implementing the secondary rights were studied.

Based on the analysis of the current compliance practices and the literature data on civil law, the use of these general legal categories for exercising the secondary rights was considered with regard to the fact that the latter are secondary to the subjective civil rights. The research was performed with the help of the following methods: empirical methods of comparison, description, and interpretation; theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic; and private scientific methods, such as the legal dogmatic method and interpretation of legal norms. A special focus was placed on the implementation of the secondary rights, namely on organization, transformation, and termination of legal relations, i.e., the secondary rights are of interest to the legal entities only when they serve the “actual” interest of these entities. It was concluded that the enjoyment of legal opportunities in a unilateral way, being aimed at the creation and transformation of legal relations as an ideal model of the actual objectively existing relationships and interactions between people, is driven by the socio-economic interest, and the secondary rights should be exercised responsibly in line with the “abstract” conscientious behavior.

Keywords: interest, need, principle of good faith, subjective civil rights, secondary rights
