The article deals with some issues pertaining to the subject-matter and personal jurisdictions in the procedural legislation of Ukraine which have been engendered by amendments to the Code of Economic Procedure of Ukraine, the Code of Administrative Court Procedure of Ukraine and the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine, and also by the update of legislation on the Stateand municipally owned property privatization and public procurement.

In particular, the author notes the fact that, having unified the provisions of some procedural institutions, the legislator, on the one part, disregarded the specifics of certain types of court procedure which are due to the peculiarities of cases referred to a certain jurisdiction, and on the other part – provided for dissimilar regulation of identical procedural relations.

The purpose of the article is to study the problematic aspects of the jurisdiction of economic courts and to delimitate economic, administrative and civil jurisdictions. The article analyzes the provisions of the mentioned procedural codes and legislation on property privatization and public procurement. Based on the results of the study, the author suggests that all cases concerning disputes with regard to privatization of Stateand municipally owned property should be considered by economic courts, and for this purpose proposes to amend the Law of Ukraine “On the Privatization of Stateand Municipally Owned Property” with a view to excluding the possibility of consideration of these cases by administrative courts.

Given the focus of the Law of Ukraine “On Public Procurement”, in particular, on ensuring of a competitive environment for public procurement and on developing of fair competition, the author concludes that cases in which the authority’s decision is appealed against in court, and also cases involving appeals against opinions of the State financial control authority shall be subject to consideration by economic courts.

 Based on the results of the study, a conclusion is made that there is a need for further scientific research of the issues outlined in the article, as well as the need to further improve the provisions of the institutes of administrative, economic and civil jurisdictions.
