Non-Legal Economic Entities: What Is That?

Abstract

The article raises the issue of considering the economic entities in Russia from the legal standpoint. Such entities tobjectively existed, exist today and will certainly exist in the foreseeable future. At different historical stages of the Russian state development, they acquired various types. The main thing that united them was that they were not subjects of law, did not have legal personality. The goals and objectives of this study are to determine the configuration of these entities, to identify their full or partial economic basis, as well as to identify the negative consequences of their lack of legal personality. The author asks the question: which types of these entities can eventually form a proper legal personality, turning them into subjects of law? The methodological basis of this study was made up of general scientific research methods: dialectical-materialistic cognition, analysis, synthesis, generalization, as well as concrete scientific methods of cognition: formal-legal, historical-legal and comparative-legal. The results of the study. The problem of the real existence in the life of society of economic entities that have not reached the level of the subject of law is posed. This was done using existing examples: self-employed citizens, artificial intelligence, volunteer detachments, etc. Conclusions: the article suggests that it is necessary to withdraw from the " legal shadow" of economic non-legal entities, since without this they are defenseless in the matter of judicial protection of their rights and interests in case of their violation or challenge. At the same time, it is noted that it is not expedient to endow some of their types with legal personality.
