Abstract:

The article is devoted to some issues arising in the judicial practice during the consideration of cases about the protection of business reputation of legal entities. Particular attention is paid to issues of compensation for reputational harm of an economic entity when a claim is made for the protection of business reputation, the problem of determining the subject of proving in cases about the protection of business reputation. The business reputation of legal entities is one of the conditions for their successful activity, therefore, the protection of business reputation of legal entities is one of the important tasks of a legal and economically developed state. Any subjective right is subject to protection by granting the right holder the appropriate authority to protect it by legal means established by the law. Subjective civil law has its significance only if it is provided with mechanisms of civil-legal protection. The analysis of modern civil legislation and judicial practice allows authors to identify such ways of protecting the business reputation of a legal entity as a refutation of defamatory information; publication of its response in the press, compensation for damages caused by the dissemination of such information; compensation for reputational harm.
