but from the decision itself as a legal act; copyright arises only after
the appearance of the product of literature, painting, etc., that is, in
both cases, from the results of activity.
Legal consequences can be a consequence and unlawful actions.
Thus, the commission of a crime generates numerous legal
consequences: there are, in particular, the duties of inquiry bodies to
detect and reveal a crime, the right of the victim and other persons to
apply to law enforcement agencies, etc.
Illegal actions are divided into offenses (crimes and guilt)
and objectively unlawful acts. The difference between them is that
the offense generates, along with other legal relationships, the
relationship of legal liability (criminal, administrative or others), and
objectively unlawful act does not involve legal liability. For example,
if a child has committed an arson of someone's property, then he/she
cannot bear criminal responsibility and such relationships do not arise,
but his/her act generates civil and law relations – the victim has the
right to compensation for the suffered damage.
Legal events, that is, the events with which the law binds certain
legal consequences; they are mainly natural phenomena that are not
related to human behaviour: earthquakes, floods and other natural
disasters, the end of the specified term, the achievement of the
statutory age, natural death of a person, etc. Such events are called
absolute.
Legal events can be relative, that is, caused by deeds and actions
of those people who do not become parties of emerging legal
relationships. For example, such events as death of a person or
destruction of property, can be a result of influence of not only
spontaneous forces, but also acts of human behaviour (murder, arson).
And if the relationship of legal liability is generated precisely by
criminal acts, that is, voluntary actions (or inaction) of the
perpetrators, then the circumstances under the insurance contract arise
not as a result of these actions, but their results (death, loss of
property), that is, the events, regardless of their causes.
Legal statuses have a special place among the legal facts, i.e.
continuing (continuous or periodically emerging) circumstances
reflecting the position of a subject in society, his/her relationship with
other people (citizenship, marriage, illness, work experience, etc.).
Legal statuses can be the result of lawful or unlawful actions (being
