The article is devoted to the study of the problems and prospects of systematizing Ukraine’s economic (commercial) legislation under conditions of full-scale war, European integration processes, and profound socio-economic transformations.
It substantiates that the current regulatory framework in the sphere of economic activity is characterized by instability, fragmentation, excessive multiplicity of legal acts, and normative collisions, which significantly complicate law enforcement and negatively affect the effectiveness of the regulation of economic relations. Particular attention is paid to the consequences of the repeal of the Commercial Code of Ukraine, which has intensified scholarly debates regarding the choice of an optimal model for the further systematization of economic legislation.
The article provides a critical analysis of the integration approach to the systematization of economic legislation, which involves incorporating economic law provisions into the Civil Code of Ukraine. It is argued that this approach is unable
to fully ensure the systemic nature, comprehensiveness, and stability of legal regulation of economic relations, given their mixed private-public character, the need to protect public interests, and the necessity of state influence on key economic processes.
Based on an analysis of contemporary economic law doctrine, the positions of leading domestic scholars, and international experience, the expediency of applying a codification-based model for the systematization of economic legislation
is substantiated. Emphasis is placed on the advantages of a mixed (combined) codification model, which combines the conceptual integrity of a codified act with the flexibility of special legislation, ensures a balance between public and
private interests, harmonization with European Union law, and adaptation to modern economic, technological, and security challenges.
It is concluded that the codification of economic legislation is a necessary condition for forming a stable, predictable, and internally coherent system of legal regulation of the economy, capable of ensuring the sustainable development of Ukraine and its effective integration into the European and global legal space.
