Objective law, on the other hand, is often divided into public and private law. The former deals with the law as it applies to the exercise of State authority, while the latter applies to variants of legal relations between persons described above. Partly on the basis of the principle that corporations are simply organizations of natural persons, and partly on the basis of the history of the legal interpretation of the word “person,” the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that certain constitutional rights protect corporations (such as corporations and other organizations). Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad is sometimes quoted for this statement because the court reporter`s comments included a statement by the Chief Justice made before the hearing began, telling counsel during pre-trial preparation that “the court does not wish to hear arguments as to whether the provision of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits a State from denying equal protection of the law to any person within its jurisdiction applies to such corporations. We all agree that this is the case. In court cases involving physical entities, the Uttarakhand High Court has ordered that the Ganges and Yamuna rivers and all waters be “living entities”, i.e. “legal persons” and appointed three persons as trustees to protect the rights of rivers from man-made pollution, for example: “Pilgrim bathing rituals”. [22] Is the whole question of the scope of legal personality relevant? Perhaps little depends on who or what a legal entity may be. Such views are sometimes expressed or implied. They can start from the idea that only humans are “real” legal persons, and that the concept can even be extended to imaginary beings such as deities through “legal fictions” (as can be shown by examples of legal systems). Or they claim that the whole concept is a “legal fiction.” However, most of these reports do not address the problem with sufficient rigour.
Some of them use a problematic conception of legal fiction – an issue I will touch on briefly in the next chapter – or they may be too respectful of the language of the courts, which have sometimes attributed legal personality to idols. A serious look at this issue will give you useful information about the nature of the legal entity, as it will make you think about how a legal entity actually works. The distinction between the terms legal entity and legal platform brings more clarity to the discourse. Although a legislator can create a virtually infinite number of legal platforms, each comprising a number of legal positions, it does not follow that absolutely everything can be a legal entity. On the contrary, incidents of legal persons can only be attributed to legal persons who can assert claims or perform acts.4 In legal proceedings involving animals, animals have the status of “legal persons” and humans have a legal obligation to act as “loco parentis” for the welfare of animals, as a parent of minor children. A court ruled in 2014 in the case “Animal Welfare Board of India vs Nagaraja” that animals are also entitled to the fundamental right to liberty enshrined in Article 21 of the Indian Constitution[23], i.e. the right to life, personal liberty and the right to die with dignity (passive euthanasia). In another case, a court in the state of Uttarakhand ordered animals to have the same rights as humans.
In another cow smuggling case, the High Court of Punjab and Haryana ordered that “the entire animal kingdom, including species of birds and aquatic animals” should have a “separate legal personality with the corresponding rights, duties and responsibilities of a living person” and that humans be “loco parentis”, while setting standards for animal welfare, Veterinary treatment, feeding and shelter, for example, animal cars can have no more than four people. and transported animals must not be loaded beyond the established limits, and these limits must be halved if the animals are to carry the load on a slope. [22] The following are examples of several definitions7 that served as a reference point for this legal entity. the possibility of being subject to legal obligations, The concept of legal personality for organizations of persons is at least as old as in ancient Rome: a multitude of collegiate institutions enjoyed the advantage of Roman law. As an artificial construction of institutional facts, the legal subject is in no way “found” or given – it is a conceptualized concept that is created by speech acts that follow the conventional procedures provided for by positive law. This concept includes immovable property that is de facto interoperable both with other legal entities (including those of a completely different nature: a natural person may enter into contracts with an enterprise) and with the operations that the law makes possible by attributing rights, powers and obligations to the legal person. The study of commercial law can be divided into four broad categories: (a) natural persons (natural persons); (b) commercial goods; (c) legal instruments; and (d) administrative and judicial proceedings. Business relationships between individuals and companies require comprehensive legal documentation, including atypical or non-standard commercial contracts. A central feature of all business transactions is the “legal entity” used by organizations around the world to conduct business. In order for many companies to carry out their day-to-day operations, they must have many of the same legal rights and obligations as natural persons. In a nutshell, these entities need a “legal entity.” Which brings us to the question of legitimacy.
The most widely used legal instruments are non-standard commercial contracts. In this sense, it is the delimitation of the contracting parties as entities with well-defined rights and obligations. This authority, in turn, depends on the legitimacy of the “personality” of the contracting parties, which is often contested in business relationships. Whether or not one accepts the use of the terms “legal person” and “legal person”, they often lead to immeasurable and diverse conflicts at the national, regional and global levels. This has led to efforts to improve the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce and improve legal models that provide guidance to different nations. We reviewed the works of various authors and concluded with the personal ideas of Elvia Arcelia Quintana. Traders can legally be classified as natural or legal persons.1 The first group refers to persons who are inherently capable of entering into obligations and exercising rights. The second group includes corporations, often referred to as corporations2, corporations3 or corporations. In this document, the term “entity” is often used to refer to this second group. This led Savigny to conclude that a “person” is any entity capable of exercising duties and rights.
Since legal persons are a legal fiction and have no free will, they cannot be a legal entity. According to this line of thinking, an ordinary person is a “person” only if he has the free will to acquire rights and duties and becomes a subject of law. Second, this book claims the neutrality of values, which “implies a suspension of judgment on the comparative merits of divergent ethical positions”.40 In the context of value neutrality, there is the distinction between the level of the framework, the basic level and the concrete level made in the introduction.
