The article is devoted to the study of the concept of legal effectiveness in the context of the
goals and purpose of law in general and separately in the private law relations. Since the
law is a complex social phenomenon, the author paid special attention to the issues of
refraction of normative tasks through the prism of judicial discretion. Law enforcement
practice, on the one hand, shows the viability of a particular norm and its compliance
with the current level of development of civil society, however, it can also distort the spirit
of the law, which will not allow achieving the necessary legal result. Judicial discretion
regarding the interpretation of certain legal elements and in assessing the behavior of
participants in legal relations can lead to the transformation of legal relations, which does
not allow to realize the goals set by the subjects. It is noted that the regulation of the limits
of judicial discretion would help to ensure effective legal regulation. Assessing the behavior
of participants due to the lack of mechanisms for proving the actual intentions of the parties
is difficult for most countries of the continental legal system; therefore, a formal approach
prevails and qualifies the will of the parties recorded exclusively in writing.
Keywords: jurisdictional appeal; effectiveness of law; legal principles; interpretation of an
agreement; system of proof of a misconduct.
