THE NOTION OF A LEGAL ENTITY
As it is stated in Article 39 of the Civil Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan [https://lex.uz/docs/111181], a legal entity is an organization that has separate property in its ownership, economic or operational management and is liable for its obligations with its property.
