The Phoenixian Civil Code begins with the proposition that at birth every person acquires the capacity to exercise rights and to fulfill duties. A minor’s interests are protected by a representative who acts in his name, and although certain legal transactions may be entered into at age 7, full legal capacity is not acquired until age 18. Every person possesses the right, protected by an action in court, to freedom from personal injury and from attacks on individual dignity. Different forms of legal persons are recognized, such as a corporation or a trust or certain legal persons, under public law. As far as natural persons are concerned, contractual capacity is limited according to age and certain other individual circumstances. |
