Abstract

Problem setting. In modern conditions of building the economy on a market basis, the development of entrepreneurship has led to a significant expansion of opportunities for participants in property turnover in the conclusion of various types of civil contracts. Concluding a contract is a rather complicated process. When concluding it, some questions arise related to the acceptance of the proposal to conclude a civil contract.
Target research. The aim of the article is a general study and analysis of acceptance as a stage of concluding a civil contract. To achieve this purpose it is necessary to solve the following tasks: 1) to determine the characteristics of acceptance; 2) analyze the forms of acceptance; 3) to investigate the possibility of withdrawal by the acceptor of his answer on the acceptance of the proposal for the conclusion of a civil contract; 4) to investigate the legal consequences of the acceptance received late.
Analysis of recent research and publication. Contractual legal relations have been studied by civil scientists in various aspects. Research in this area was conducted by S.O. Borodovsky, M.I. Braginsky, V.V. Vitryansky, V.V. Denysiuk, О.О. Krasavchikov, В.В. Lutz and others. But the issue of acceptance as a stage of concluding a civil law contract is poorly covered, is quite relevant and needs further study.
Article’s main body. The article analyzes the acceptance as a stage of concluding a civil contract. Characteristic signs of acceptance are defined. It is indicated that the response to the acceptance of the proposal must indicate its acceptance, be complete and unconditional. Forms of acceptance are analyzed. The possibility of withdrawal by the acceptor of the answer on acceptance for the offer of the conclusion of the civil law contract is investigated. The legal consequences of late acceptance are investigated.
Conclusions and prospect of development. Thus, the study and analysis of acceptance as a stage of concluding a civil contract and its legal consolidation is of great scientific and practical importance, as the absence of certain provisions in the legislation hinders the possibility of proper protection of the rights of parties to a civil contract.
