Bohutskyi said that administrative and legal regime is a combination of administrative and legal means of regulation, which results in a centralized manner, imperative method of legal enforcement and legal inequality of legal subjects. The main value of this definition – establishing the link between regime and the method of regulation. Existing approaches to understanding the legal regime and its elements are based largely on the recognition of the division of the right in private and public and their opposition.
