THE PARTICULARITIES OF APPLICATION OF THE SPECIAL TOURISM LEGISLATION IN ENGLAND

Abstract

Introduction: The article is devoted to the special aspects of «Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 (SI 1992/3288) as a basic act of special legislation regulating civil law relations within the touristic sphere in England. The author examined the scope of the these Regulations and the delimitation of the legal relationships falling within these Regulations and of the legal relationships being outside the scope of these Regulations regulated by the general rules of contract law. For these purposes, the concept and indicia of «package» as a key definition, which determines the scope of these Regulations, were analyzed. Materials and Methods: general and specific scientific methods of cognition are used to examine the research object, namely formal- legal and logical analysis and comparative- legal approach. The author analyzes the statute and case law of England in the touristic sphere as well as the works of the English legal academics in this field. Results: Following the results of the analysis of relevant legal provisions and their practical application the author comes to the conclusion that in some aspects the definition of «package» is better in comparison with the definition of “touristic product” in terms of Russian legislation. First of all, this advantage is that it is not necessary to combine both transport and accommodation for creating «package» as opposed to “touristic product”. Due to this fact, the definition of «package» is wider than the definition of “touristic product” and thereby legal defense may be provided to the extended number of persons. At the same time several law problems were exposed connected with the application and interpretation of relevant legal rules. Discussion and Conclusions: In order to improve the legal protection in the touristic sphere in Russia the author proposes that the successful practices of English legislators should be introduced in this country and the concept of«touristic product» should be extended.
