Legal personality allows one or more natural persons (universitas personarum) to act as an entity (legal person) for legal purposes. In many jurisdictions, artificial personality allows this company to be considered legally distinct from its individual members (for example, in a public company, its shareholders). They can sue and be sued, enter into contracts, incur debts and own property. Companies with legal personality may also be subject to certain legal obligations, such as the payment of taxes. A company with legal personality may protect its members from personal liability. Registered trade unions are legal persons. They may, by uniform representation proportional to their members, conclude collective agreements binding on all persons belonging to the categories specified in the agreement. In the common law tradition, only one person could have legal rights. In order for them to work, the legal personality of a company has been established to include five legal rights: the right to a common treasure or safe (including the right to property), the right to a corporate seal (i.e.
the right to conclude and sign contracts), the right to sue (to enforce contracts). the right to hire agents (employees) and the right to enact laws (self-government). [19] (8) “Indemnity” or “indemnity deposit” means funds or other assets received by the title insurer as security to secure a claimant`s obligation under an indemnification agreement under which the insurer is granted a security interest in the security if the insurer agrees to provide a title insurance policy for a particular title exemption. In court cases involving physical entities, the Uttarakhand High Court has ordered that the Ganges and Yamuna, as well as all ships, be “living beings”. “legal person” and appointed three persons as custodians to protect the rights of rivers from man-made pollution, for example “pilgrims` bathing rituals”. [22] (7) “trustee” means a person who holds an escrow account or a cleared deposit account. D) lack of legal right of access to the property; or brokers enter the insured`s name into online portals or complete the insured name in an offer receipt, so it is the broker`s responsibility to ensure that the name they enter as an insured name is a name of a legal entity. If a client has completed an offer form with a name that is not a legal entity, the broker must return to the client and obtain the name of the legal entity.
Close enough is not good enough. A claim or claim is always served only on the corporation, so that the insurance policy can respond on behalf of the corporation. (i) determine insurability and the issuance of bonds or title insurance policies, or both, by conducting or verifying research or a summary of the title; and (16) “title insurance undertaking” or “title insurance undertaking”: In legal proceedings involving companies, shareholders are not liable for the debts of the company, but the company itself, as a “legal person”, is required to repay those debts or be sued for non-repayment of debts. [22] In animal court proceedings, animals have the status of “legal persons” and humans have a legal obligation to act as “loco parentis” to animal welfare, as a parent does to 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] There are therefore two types of legal persons: human persons and non-human persons. In law, a human person is designated as a natural person (sometimes also as a natural person), and a non-human person is called a legal person (sometimes also as a legal, legal, artificial, legal or fictitious person, Latin: persona ficta). (i) obtain or negotiate the issuance of a title insurance policy; In law, a corporation is any person or “thing” (less ambiguously any corporation)[1][2] that can do the things that an ordinary person can normally do in law – such as entering into contracts, suing and being sued, owning property, etc.
[3] [4] [5] The rationale for the term “corporation” is that some legal entities are not persons: Corporations and corporations are legally “persons” (they can legally do most of the things that an ordinary person can do), but they are clearly not people in the ordinary sense of the word. The 2013 amendment by D.C. Law 20-40 removed the designation in paragraph (a); added (4A) and (8A); replace the words “partnership, limited liability company, association, cooperative, corporation, trust or other legal entity” in paragraph 9); repealed (14); in point (F) of paragraph 16, replaced by `compensation for inaccuracy` by `assurance of accuracy`; and replaced in paragraph (19)(A) “residential or personal property” with “real or personal property”. 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. The first and most important part of an insurance policy is making sure the insured`s name is correct. And this insured name MUST be a legal entity in its own right. If you do not receive the name of the insured correctly or if the name you enter as an insured is not a legal entity, the insurance contract is not valid and may not respond to claims.
(4) “Attorney General” means a person admitted to practice law in the District of Columbia.

Artificial personality, legal personality or legal personality is the characteristic of a non-living entity that legally has the status of personality. A legal entity name is the name of the legal entity that appears on all official documents or legal documents. It may be different from a business name. If it is a company, it is the full name of the company, including Limited (Pty Ltd or a variant).
Legal entities are businesses such as corporations, corporations (in some jurisdictions), and many government agencies. They are legally treated as if they were people. [4] [6] [7] Section 28 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 states: “. the provisions of this Bill of Rights apply, to the extent possible, for the benefit of all legal persons and all natural persons. A legal or legal person (Latin: persona ficta; also a legal person) has a legal name and has certain legal rights, protections, privileges, responsibilities and obligations, similar to those of a natural person. The concept of legal person is a fundamental legal fiction.
