Understanding Legal Personality in Nepal’s Civil Code

Understanding Legal Personality in Nepal’s Civil Code

The concept of legal personality is central to civil law, allowing entities like corporations and institutions to hold rights and obligations separate from their members. Under Nepal’s Muluki Civil Code 2074, legal personality empowers bodies corporate to own property, enter contracts, and be liable independently. Sections 42–53 comprehensively define incorporation procedures, corporate powers, liabilities, and special provisions for merger and conflict of interest. Recognizing legal persons promotes justice, accountability, and efficiency in both public and private sectors. Alpine Law Associates explains how legal personality facilitates modern legal systems and the smooth functioning of Nepalese society.

Tort Law in Nepal

Tort Law in Nepal

Tort law in Nepal governs civil wrongs and offers legal remedies for individuals harmed by others' actions. Based on the Muluki Civil Code 2074, it includes provisions for compensation in cases of negligence, defamation, nuisance, trespass, and more. Though not fully codified, tort law is rapidly developing, combining legislative sections and court precedents to address evolving societal issues. Responsibilities are assigned to parents, guardians, employers, and property owners for damage caused under their control. As civil rights awareness increases, Nepal’s tort law continues to expand, reinforcing justice, accountability, and protection for affected individuals.
