BRANCHES OF LAWLaw is the body of rules by which men live together in society. Wherever more than one person is living, law is necessary for settling possible conflicts. Law can be divided into two main branches: 1) private law and 2) public law. Private law deals with the rights and obligations people have in their relations with one another. Public law concerns the rights and obligations people have as members of society and as citizens. Both private law and public law can be subdivided into several branches. However, the various branches of public law are closely related, and in many cases they are overlap. Private law can be divided into six main branches. These branches are: contract and commercial law, tort law, property law, inheritance law, family law, and corporation law. The dividing line between the various branches is not always clear, however. For example, many cases of property law also involve contract law. The law of tort. Torts include wrongs such as negligence, defamation, malicious prosecution and nuisance. If these legal rights have been infringed, a plaintiff can sue for compensation in a tort action. An example of a tort is libel. Here, the plaintiff must prove to the court that the statement concerned was defamatory. The court takes a decision and, if the plaintiff is successful, damages can be awarded. One of the most important tort actions is that for negligence, when a person fails to live up to an expected standard of care and someone is injured as a result. This can cover physical damage or financial loss. The law of contract. A contract is an agreement between two or more parties, which is enforceable in law. There are few rules about the form of contracts, although some contracts have to be written – for example, the sale of land or a house. An example of a contract is the purchase of goods in a shop. If the goods purchased turned out to be shoddy, the purchaser can sue the seller in the civil courts usually for damages. Public law can be divided into four branches: criminal law, constitutional law, administrative law and international law. In many cases, the branches of public law, like those of private law, overlap. For example, a violation of administrative law may also be a violation of criminal law. Law in Ukraine can also be divided into two main branches: private law and public law. Private law determines a person’s rights and obligations in many kinds of activities that involve other people in such principal areas as property, obligations, family law and inheritance. Private law can also be subdivided into branches according to the kinds of legal rights and obligations involved. These branches are: civil law, family law, labour law, and housing law. Public law involves government directly. It defines person’s rights and obligations in relation to government. Public law also describes the various divisions of government and their powers. Public law can be subdivided into such branches as: constitutional law, criminal law, financial law, agrarian law, ecological law, administrative law and international law.
