REGULATORY SUPPORT OF THE RIGHTS OF ATHLETES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TRANSPORTATION

Abstract

The article is devoted to topical issues of ensuring the rights of passengers-athletes in the implementation of their transportation under the contract of carriage of passengers (in civil relations) and the implementation of transportation by official transport. The purpose of the article is to determine the state of regulations on the rights of athletes as passengers, compliance of the legal protection with the needs of ensuring their rights, development of theoretical proposals, and practical recommendations for improving existing legislation in the field. It is proved that the nature, features, and content of regulatory rights of passenger-athletes is determined by the nature of legal relations, their content and the nature of legal relations between the participants, the peculiarities of the legal regulation of these relations. It is specified that the current legislation does not contain regulatory guarantees for the rights of passenger-athletes, except in cases where the passenger-athlete is a party to the contract of carriage of passengers. It is proved that the legal status of the athlete does not affect the specifics of the conclusion and execution of the contract of carriage of a passenger, which can be concluded by him alone or by the club, committee, organization, etc. in its interests (as a contract for the performance of a third party) with the carrier. It is established that in such relations the rights of the passenger-athlete are provided by the general guarantees provided by the Central Committee of Ukraine and special, specified, and fixed acts of the transport and consumer legislation. When transporting passengers-athletes by official transport (in particular, in labor relations), their rights are ensured by the content of the norms of Chapter 82 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, which apply to cases of injury to the passenger by injury, other health damage or death.
