The concept of person in a legal sense as considered by legal normativism: The person as a "norm-making unit" in the understanding of Jan Slezák
2011
Abstract
The person in a legal sense is, in the normativist perspective, considered to be "a point of assignability". Jan Slezák made attempted to analyse the person in a legal sense with respect to requirements set by the legal order so that the point of assignability may create a valid legal norm.
As a result he designated the point as a "norm-making unit". The norm-making unit encompasses the body of legal norms required for that unit to be allowed to impose legal duties upon other persons (including "particularizing norm-making" covering the creation of rights).
