The Legal Status of Citizens Limited in Capacity and Incapacitated in View of the Civil Law Reform
Based on the historical analysis of the doctrine of legal personality of citizens who are incapacitated and limited in capacity, the study of changes that have come into force in the current legislation relative to the above categories of natural persons is performed. The relative reception of Roman private law and civil law of the Russian Empire in the formation of norms regulating the legal status of citizens who are incapacitated and limited in capacity is revealed. The effectiveness of changes that have come into force and aim to protect the rights of these citizens, as well as the necessity to include the category of <i>spendthrifting</i> in the grounds for limiting the civil capacity, are proved.
