Scientists-Lawyers of SUSU Completed an Interdisciplinary Research Project

A team of 45 scientists, formed at South Ural State University, completed an interdisciplinary research project. The result of two-years-long work is a 400-page-thick monograph entitled “Private Law Principles” published by the largest Russian publishing house called Prospekt.

The monograph entitled “Private Law Principles” is a result of implementation of a research project carried out by the SUSU Centre of Private Law, and a conclusion of research efforts of teams representing three Departments of the Institute of Law: the Department of Civil Law and Civil Legal Procedures; the Department of Business, Competition and Ecological Law; and the Department of Labour and Social Law and Legal Studies.

The book provides general characteristic of private law principles, considers modern action problems of certain civil law principles, entrepreneurial law, labour law and social welfare law. A significant part of the work is dedicated to reviewing the issues of implementation and problems of systematisation and hierarchical linkage of private law principles.

“The main objective at such research collaboration was to find the common thing which unites such branches of material law as civil, entrepreneurial, labour and procedural branches of law – the civial and arbitral processes. It was private law that became such common factor,” says Head of the SUSU Centre of Private Law and administrator of the research project, Tikhon Podshivalov.

The monograph had been being prepared without regarding branch affiliation and is based on a research of convergence of private and public law, material and procedural law, and interaction of other elements of the system of law.

“As one of the editors, I would like to add that I was happy to cooperate and unite the works of such different scientists into one book. Thanks to all who found the time and will to take part in the research; this is our common achievement,” noted Tikhon Podshivalov.

Let us add that in the latest years, the Centre of Private Law implemented several research projects: “Civil Law Principles and Their Implementation” (2015-2017); “Private Law Principles” (2016-2018); “Diligence as a Criterion of Eligibility” (2017-2018, grant within Project 5-100), upon results of which a research article was published in a journal of the third Quartile Scopus.

Presently, the SUSU Centre of Private Law is implementing an interdisciplinary research project entitled “Public Law Principles” (2018-2020) and a comparatively legal research entitled “The System of Property Suits: the Study of Pandects and Contemporary Law” (2017-2021).
