 | | Thus, a legal liability of the legal entity is not necessarily a legal liability of any of its natural persons. | | | There are some legal possibilities that are available only to natural persons, not to legal entities; for example a legal entity cannot marry, vote, or be elected President. | | | A legal entity exists wherever the law recognizes, as a matter of policy, the person of any entity, regardless of whether it is naturally considered to be a person. |

| | Hungarian Corporate Law |
| | This seemingly "heretic" proposal is based on the legal principle that the right to the freedom of enterprise as specified in the Constitution and the exercising of this right cannot be made conditional on the omission of a law enforcement body, be it a court or a public administration organ. | | | Provisions assigning legal consequences to the absence of a legal personality clearly could not be left unchanged. | | | The issue was raised during the drafting of the bill whether it is justified to maintain the differentiation in the company law between legal entities and economic associations without legal personality. |

| | Although the legal treatment of corporations frequently is coloured by anthropomorphic overtones, it is easier to conceptualise the artificial nature of legal personality in the case of a corporation, than in the case of a human legal person. | | | In practical terms, a human legal person of full capacity, concerned with the well-being of the animal and willing to represent the animal on a legal level, could be appointed by the court as the guardian and legal representative of that animal. | | | It is important that they are able to initiate legal proceedings to restrain or to seek compensation for the infringement of their rights. |

| | European convention on the recognition of the legal personality of INGOs |
| | The legal personality and capacity, as acquired by an NGO in the Party in which it has its statutory office, shall be recognised as of right in the other Parties. | | | Consequently, no special procedure has to be followed to obtain recognition of legal personality.The principle is that the law which governs the substance of the NGO's legal personality and capacity is the law of the state in which the statutory office of the NGO, as stated in the memorandum and articles of association, is situated. | | | Since legal requirements and procedures to establish an NGO differ from state to state the proof to be supplied to this effect cannot be the same in all cases. |

| | The personality of the UN derives from the same rules or principles which determine the legal personality of any other international person, be it a state, an insurgent party, a government in exile or the Holy See. | | | The legal personality of the UN must be qualified, however, with respect to both its source and its nature. | | | The Charter was the legal basis upon which the Organization could be materially constituted. |

| | International Organizations and Their Host States |
| | In conclusion, the legal concepts underlying the relationship between international organizations and their host states are analyzed and suggestions are made on improving the coherency of the law. | | | This concept forms an anchor for the examination of the following aspects of the legal relationship: the legal personality of the organization, the status of its seat, the inviolability of its premises, assets and archives, its jurisdictional immunity, its communications privileges, and its fiscal, customs and financial privileges. | | | Before examining the legal status, privileges and immunities that have commonly been granted to international organizations, the diverse sources where the law can be found are brought together in a new concept: the host arrangement. |

| | CANADIAN CORPORATE LAW, VEIL-PIERCING, AND THE PRIVATE LAW MODEL CORPORATION |
| | Since there is in fact not a 'legal person' only a corporate patrimony, the courts are never prohibited from examining the factual circumstances and inner workings of 'the corporation.' Thus, those who have argued that it is illegitimate for the courts to merely 'examine' have been led astray by the traditional incoherent doctrine. | | | Rather, it is a reaffirmation of that principle because it allows that one legal person, a corporation, may be the agent of another legal person, just as a natural person might. | | | No sooner has it been stated that the corporation is a legal person distinct from its shareholders than courts and academic writers allow that legal personality should sometimes be disregarded. |
