The concept of a 'legal person' is fundamental to law, but it is often misunderstood. A legal person is an entity that has legal rights and obligations — this includes natural persons (human beings) but also corporations and other entities. What does this concept actually mean, and why is it important? Can you point to statutes or judgments that help clarify the distinction between a natural person and a legal person?
