It is not a man, and still can have rights and obligations. It is not a man, and still can engage in legal conduct. It is not a man, and still can be legally responsible. What is it? A juristic person.
But how is it possible that “something” which does not naturally exist, “something” which cannot be perceived with one’s own senses, can have rights and obligations? How is it possible that “something” which-unlike a human being-cannot have its own reason and will, can engage in legal conduct? How is it possible that “something” which cannot have conscience and feel guilt-like a human being-can be legally responsible? And what is then such a legal creation-a juristic person-good for? This monograph, titled “The Concept of Juristic Person”, aims to answer all these questions, and thus explain this very concept.
