Thus, depending on the consequences created by them, legal
facts can be classified as right-creating, right-changing and law-
terminating.
Thus, under a loan agreement at the time of transferring money
to a person who has received money (the borrower), there is a duty to
repay the debt, and the lender has the right to demand debt repayment,
that is, there is a relationship. Partial (with the consent of the latter)
debt repayment changes the legal relationship (the amount of rights
and obligations of the parties), and in case of death of the borrower –
his/her subjective composition: the party of the relationship becomes
his/her heir.
The most significant is the distribution of legal facts in their
connection with the will of the participants in the relationship. On this
basis, legal actions and legal events are distinguished.
Actions are volitional acts of behaviour, deeds of people. In their
day-to-day practice, people make countless acts of behaviour, but the
law links the onset of legal consequences only with some part of these
acts. Only these acts of conduct will be actions in the legal sense, that
is, legal actions.
Such actions may be legitimate, that is, they correspond to legal
orders, and illegitimate ones, which do not meet the legal
requirements, violate them.
Legal actions in turn are subdivided into legal acts and legal
deeds.
Legal acts – these are actions made to achieve a specific legal
result (conclusion of a civil or labour agreement, marriage, etc.). Legal
deeds – such lawful actions that do not pursue legal objectives, but
objectively, regardless of a subject’s will and intentions, create legal
consequences. Thus, the creation of a literary work or an invention is
an act of creativity, but as a result copyrights of a writer, a poet, a
scientist arise.
Legal acts and legal deeds can be formal (if there are enough
only actions for emergence of legal consequences) and effective (if
legal consequences are generated not by the actions, but their results).
So, the very fact of giving money in debt generates the obligation of
the borrower to repay the debt and the right of the other party to
demand its return. On the contrary, the legal consequences of a court
decision do not arise from the activity on its preparation and writing,
