õigussubjektile

õigussubjektile refers to an entity that possesses legal rights and obligations. In Estonian legal terminology, it encompasses both natural persons and legal persons. A natural person is an individual human being. A legal person, on the other hand, is an organization or entity that is recognized by law as having its own legal identity, distinct from its members or owners. Examples of legal persons include companies, foundations, and associations.

The concept of õigussubjektile is fundamental to civil law and many other branches of law. It determines who can participate in legal relationships, enter into contracts, own property, sue or be sued, and be held responsible for their actions. For an entity to be considered an õigussubjektile, it must have the capacity to act and be acted upon within the legal system. This capacity is generally granted upon birth for natural persons and upon registration or incorporation for legal persons, depending on the specific type of entity and the relevant laws. The rights and obligations of an õigussubjektile are defined by statutes and other legal norms, and their actions are governed by the principles of law.
