Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the concept of legal capacity in the current Civil Code. Legal capacity, or better said, its extent, is determined by the degree of the mental and voluntary level of advancement of mankind. Following this, the authors question whether a legal person can alsobe legally capacitated in this sense if it is not endowed with its own reason and will. However, the legal regulation of autonomy has already changed during the first ten years existence of the Civil Code. The authors acquaint the reader with these changes in chronological order.
