"Die Lehre von den juristischen Personen"

"Die Lehre von den juristischen Personen" (the doctrine of legal persons) refers to the legal concept that recognizes entities like corporations, associations, or institutions as having rights and responsibilities similar to individuals. These entities can own property, enter into contracts, sue, or be sued. The doctrine provides a framework for understanding how non-human entities function within the legal system, ensuring they are accountable and able to participate in legal actions. It distinguishes these entities from natural persons, emphasizing their capacity to hold legal rights and obligations independently of the people who manage or represent them.
