ON THE SUBJECTS OF COMMERCIAL (TRADE) LAW

Abstract

The article examines the system of subjects of commercial (trade) law, as well as the criteria for their classification. In the doctrine of commercial (commercial) law, the problem of distinguishing its subjects and their legal features has remained controversial for many years. The author pays special attention to the concept and legal characterization of such ambiguously determined trading participants as resellers and trade facilitators. The author considers the features of the legal status of participants in trade relations, which allow them to be attributed to a certain category of subjects of commercial law.The article also examines the problems of changing the subject composition of trade relations in the context of the development of digital technologies and electronic commerce. In this regard, the norms of legislation and the positions of lawyers are analyzed with respect to new categories of participants in trade relations, the activity of which has become widespread in the process of developing Internet commerce — aggregators, as well as subjects of the information infrastructure of trade — the so-called information intermediaries and other persons providing commercial services in the global network.
