On the difference in the legislative approach to the establishment of certain types of terms within the framework of the state (municipal) contract and the problem of concept defining of “working day”

Abstract

From the standpoint of a practice-oriented approach, the problem of inconsistent legal regulation of the in-stitution of the term and the procedure for calculating it in the contracts used to provide public legal entities represented by authorities and other persons with goods, works, services is investigated. Little attention is paid to this problem in the scientific literature, despite the fact that certainty in the order of calculation of deadlines is essentially of a general legal nature, solutions to this issue are applicable to many spheres of public life. The at-tention is focused on the establishment of the types of terms used in the Russian legal jurisdiction to streamline the economic sphere of interaction of subjects of civil law and calculated in calendar, working, banking days. The existing differentiation in the legislation in the use of different types of deadlines within the contract system does not contribute to the realization of the idea of building an optimal model of state and municipal procure-ment, the explanation for which should be sought in the imperfection of the provisions of Article 190 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation regarding the rules for determining the periods of flow deadlines. We propose the best option for adjusting regulations taking into account the existing practice of law enforcement and trends in the development of legislation.
