Publication at Faculty of Law |

Abstract

The first chapter aims to introduce the common features and effects of legal acts and of responsibility, or liability, of juristic persons; indeed "legal act" ("legal conduct"), "responsibility (liability)", as well as "juristic person" are usually construed and treated as mutually isolated concepts, which seemingly have nothing in common. On rare occasions, the concepts of legal act (legal conduct), legal responsibility and liability and juristic person are considered in mutual conjunction, in searching for an answer to the following questions: "What is legal conduct of a juristic person?" and "What is legal responsibility and liability of a juristic person?".

For this reason, this chapter explains what "legal act" ("legal conduct") and "legal responsibility (liability)" have in common with regard to juristic persons. This analysis serves as a basis for the arrangement and contents of the individual chapters.
