TITLE I. NATURAL AND JURIDICAL PERSONS

Art. 24. Kinds of persons

           There are two kinds of persons: natural persons and juridical persons.

           A natural person is a human being. A juridical person is an entity to which the law attributes personality, such as a corporation or a partnership. The personality of a juridical person is distinct from that of its members.
