Applying a specific contractual structure in favor of a third party to a passenger carriage contract

Abstract

The article considers the possibility of drawing a passenger carriage contract based on the model of beneficiary contracts. In the case of the conclusion by organizations of carriage contracts for organized groups of passengers, a specific contractual structure in favor of a third party may be applied. Minor children can be considered third parties in whose favor a passenger carriage contract is concluded. The contradictions of the current civil legislation regarding the consideration of minor children as passengers have been revealed. The methodological basis of the study includes the following methods. A systematic approach is used to identify the role and place of the passenger carriage contract in the system of civil law contracts, as well as contradictions in civil law. Comparison is actively used to identify similarities and differences in the legal regulation of the passenger carriage contract under the legislation of various countries. Legal modeling is used in the analysis of specific contractual structures, which are legal models, and in modeling the structure of the passenger carriage contract. Methods of formal and dialectic logic are used as well. The contribution to the study of the issue is associated with the scientific justification of the need to improve the legal structure of the passenger carriage contract according to the contract model in favor of a third party.
