Explanation

Legal personality may be granted to entities other than individual human beings, e.g. a group of human beings, a fund or an idol. Twenty men may form a corporation which may sue and be sued in the corporate name. An idol may be regarded as legal persona in itself or a particular fund may be incorporated.
