Abstract

In this presentation, I am interested in the notion of the person and the way it is formulated in law on the books and practised in law in action. The notion of the legal person is closely associated with the concept of legal capacity and its opposite, incapacity. The presentation analyzes the legal and judicial uses of the category of the person as a normal and/or natural artifact.
