Talk:Association

Moved from the Village Pump

In the page on "association", I see something about associations being some "nominate" contract in "the civil law system".

It's a bit misleading to talk of "THE" civil law system. There are dozens of civil law systems, and I suspect that their laws on corporations vary greatly.

I think one should be very prudent before stating general facts. If you are sure that what you say applies in a certain country, say it; but avoid drawing broad generalities.

It's especially easy to say untruths on questions of law if one bases oneself on reports in the press. Journalists are often thoroughly incompetent in the law of their own country, let's not even talk of the laws of other countries. User:David.Monniaux.

Obviously this page needs to become a disambiguation page! If I weren't otherwise busy I take care of it... Michael Hardy 01:10, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
