This paper considers the features of legal construction of natural obligations in the German law and doctrine. Based on the analysis of different approaches of German civil law scholars to solving the indicated problem, the author justifies their position regarding the legal nature of natural obligations, distinguishing their main features. The paper explains why, in contrast to the classical liabilities, natural obligation is considered as “imperfect obligation” (unvollkommene Verbindlichkeit). Considering the structure of natural obligations, the author singles out the main elements of the right of claim (Forderung), by which it can be realized without judicial compulsion. The paper emphasizes that, in the absence of legislatively envisaged enumeration of grounds for occurrence of natural obligations and their types, a significant role in recognizing a legal relationship as the natural obligation belongs to the doctrine and courts. On the basis of the analysis of the doctrinal sources, two main forms of natural obligations are distinguished: institutional and non-institutional. Their features are considered. Different forms and types of natural obligations indicate a fairly broad approach of the modern German civil law scholars to understanding the essence of natural obligation as of a civil legal obligation or other legal relation based on moral responsibility.

The paper considers the general principles of executing obligations under the current legislation, as applied to the obligations of easement, based on the contract (agreement). The doctrine has not adequately solved this question, but development of the relevant provisions is of great practical importance for unification of the law enforcement. As a result of the analysis of the current legislation, it was concluded that there are certain aspects of the legislative regulation of execution of the easement obligations. The paper distinguishes the general and specific principles, under which the easement obligations should be executed and all disputes associated with this process should be resolved. The general principles are proper fulfillment of the obligation, impermissibility of unilateral refusal to perform the obligation, honesty and mutual assistance of the parties performing the obligation, specific performance. Special attention was paid to the proportionality principle, which is considered in two aspects: proportionality of the actual encumbrance over the immovable property and proportionate payment for the easement. The paper finally stablishes that the existing laws on the matter need further improvement and specification in what concerns the special principle of executing the obligations.

This paper analyzes the renewed content of the civil contract doctrine in new provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation due to the reform of contractual law and law of obligations. The renewed viewpoints of the legislation on contractual freedom and its correlation with contractual terms, as well as private legal and other limitations on the constitutional contractual freedom, are considered. The features of applying the general provisions on obligations and contracts to multilateral contracts are revealed. Unidentified contracts are investigated from the point of application of the norms of defined contracts to them. The new provisions of contractual law and law of obligations concerning the contractual obligations arising in connection with business activity are shown. The conclusion is made about the emergence of a new phase in the evolvement of the civil contract doctrine and the Russian contractual law in general.

If we accept that the success/failure criteria of the Hungarian state’s strategy are to help secure the cultural reproduction of these transfrontier communities, then we are forced to conclude that success has eluded its formulators. In sum, the transfrontier communities are shrinking in size, whether through outmigration or assimilation. More seriously, they appear to have lost any strong sense of a lasting future (cf. Prague Germans after 1918, Serbs of Kosovo, Gaeltacht in Scotland). In part, this is explained by a palpable level of insecurity in these communities, to which can be added fear in some cases. Note too that the Hungarian citizenship law has not succeeded in turning this around.
