Abstract: The study investigates the specific features of applying some remedies for the civil rights of internet users. Comparative, qualitative, and doctrinal research methods were used. The authors point out that often, the very method of entering into a transaction on internet platforms may indicate the possibility of further voidability. The study investigates such a remedy as restoring the situation that existed prior to the violation of the right. In this regard, an opinion is proposed for protecting the rights of internet users, the renewal of the situation that existed prior to the violation may be expressed in the restoration of access to internet resources or the restoration of rights belonging to a person on the relevant internet platform, including access to such a resource as such. Attention is also drawn to the specific features of the implementation of remedies when the subject is in employment relations with the company.

Keywords: restitution; recognition of a right; civil remedy; web resource; labour relations.
