Abstract
The article is devoted to the procedural and substantive role of the prosecutor, as a subject with public powers, exercising competence in the field of protecting the interests of a minor or a person recognized as legally incompetent, in case of refusal of a legal representative from medical intervention necessary to save life. The object of the study was a set of public relations in order to protect the rights of a minor or a person recognized as incapacitated if the consent of the legal representative for medical intervention necessary to save life is not accepted. As a result of the conducted research, the authors concluded that the participation of the prosecutor should be directed not only within the framework of judicial proceedings, but also pre-trial settlement of the disputed situation.
