The article deals with the issues of legislative regulation of compensation for moral harm in Ukraine and the prac - tical application of the relevant norms in practice. The judicial practice on this issue is analyzed. Moral damage means the consequences of an offense that has no economic content and value form and is expressed, in particular, in physical pain, mental suffering, humiliation of honor and dignity. It is a legal expression (result) of the totality of the harmful consequences of an offense that arose in the non-property field of the victim. Given the inability to determine in advance the non-material consequences of violation of the rights of a person for the committed offense, the settlement of questions regarding the determination of the amount of compensation for moral harm is not practiced. However, the analysis of judicial practice suggests that in the course of consideration of cases in a court violations of any contractual obligations may be grounds for compensation for moral harm, where the harm is the result of suffering caused by the fact of non-compliance by the violator of the terms of the contract and the necessity of reference to the court for protecting their rights. It is noted that the Institute for the Compensation of Moral Damage in Ukraine is still in the “emergence” state and requires active development through the merger of the efforts of the Lawyers and the Court, with the obligatory support from the state. It is concluded that in the Ukrainian legislation the institute of moral damage is gradually improving, but there is an urgent need for adoption of laws that would ensure the real realization of such a way of protecting the rights of subjects of civil legal relations and meet the needs of the present time. Particular attention should be paid to educational work with the public on the possibility of protecting their rights violated. The necessity of further thorough research of moral damages issues and the necessity to develop a unified judicial practice of application of the current legislation in the consideration of issues concerning moral damage.
