Protection of rights to public utilities: legal aspects and dispute resolution practice

 

 

Introduction

 

Consumers' rights to utilities are an important element of ensuring a decent standard of living. In Ukraine, the issues of legal regulation of public utilities and consumer protection are of particular relevance in connection with the reform of the housing and utilities sector. This article examines the legal aspects of protection of rights to public utilities and analyzes the practice of dispute resolution in this area.

 

Legal and regulatory framework

 

The main legal acts regulating public utilities in Ukraine are:

 

The Law of Ukraine "On Housing and Communal Services":

  • Defines the legal, economic and organizational framework for the provision of housing and communal services, the rights and obligations of consumers and service providers.

 

The Law of Ukraine "On Protection of Consumer Rights":

  • Ensures the protection of consumer rights, including the right to receive quality utilities.

 

The Civil Code of Ukraine:

  • Regulates contractual relations between consumers and utility providers.

 

The Law of Ukraine "On Drinking Water, Drinking Water Supply and Sewerage":

  • Defines the legal and organizational framework in the field of drinking water supply and sanitation.

 

Resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and regulations of local authorities:

  • They regulate tariffs, service delivery procedures, quality standards, etc.

 

Rights of consumers of public utilities
