Résumé

The article examines the grounds for the invalidity of transactions under the legislation of Ukraine and their legal consequences, which are considered by the doctrine. Separate foreign legislation on problems of invalidity of transactions in other countries is analyzed. The ratio of void and voidable transactions is determined due to their legal definition and judicial practice. A study of transactions that do not comply with the law and the extent of legal capacity of the participants was conducted. Problems of non-compliance with the form of the transaction, concluding the transaction with defects of will. Attention was also paid to the distinction between fictitious and pretended transactions. In order to provide a more detailed analysis of the object of study, classifications of invalid transactions were considered. This made it possible to reveal that the legislator singles out fictitious and imaginary transactions in a separate group, namely transactions with flaws in purpose. A comparative legal analysis of the object of study with the national legislation and a number of European countries was carried out. In particular, the legislation of Germany and the Republic of Lithuania. Judicial practice was considered to identify rules on recognizing transactions as invalid.
