The Objects of Legal Relations of Invalidity: A Theoretical and Legal Analysis

The article provides a theoretical and legal analysis of the objects of invalidity legal relations as a specific type of protective legal relations within the legal system. The study examines the main doctrinal approaches to defining the object of legal relations in the general theory of law, including monistic and pluralistic concepts. Particular attention is paid to the theories of the object-as-behavior and object-as-thing, as well as to modern theoretical interpretations that associate the object of legal relations with the legal regime of certain phenomena or with the behavior of legal subjects.

The paper substantiates the methodological relevance of the pluralistic approach to the study of the objects of invalidity legal relations. This approach allows taking into account the complex and multidimensional nature of legal phenomena whose validity may be challenged due to non-compliance with legal requirements. The research emphasizes that invalidity in law functions as a mechanism of legal response to violations of normative rules and serves as a means of restoring legal order and maintaining the integrity of the legal system.

It is argued that the specificity of invalidity legal relations lies in their focus on assessing the ability of certain legal phenomena to produce legally prescribed consequences. The central role in such relations belongs to the legal effect, understood as the legal result of the operation of a particular legal phenomenon. Invalidity reflects the incapacity of certain legal acts or other legal phenomena to generate the legal effects they were intended to produce, such as the creation, modification, or termination of rights and obligations.

The study concludes that the objects of invalidity legal relations may include the legal effects related to the validity, legal force, and effectiveness of various legal phenomena, including legislative acts, contracts and other transactions, acts of public authorities, corporate acts, administrative acts, judicial decisions, and other legally significant phenomena. These relations aim to eliminate or neutralize the legal consequences of phenomena that contradict legal norms and thereby ensure coherence and effectiveness of legal regulation.

Keywords: legal relations, object of legal relations, invalidity, protective legal relations, invalidity legal relations, object of invalidity legal relations.
