Talk:Capacity (law)

message: It sounds to me as if this whole article was written taking into account the US states views on legal capcity, this is specially true in the section that talks about minors  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.222.2.22 (talk) 09:09, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The introductory paragraph in the "discussion" section isn't very well-written, and I don't see how the Saskatchewan example has much to do with the issue it's meant to relate to.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.47.39.18 (talk) 04:56, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I think that the competence (law) article confuses competence and capacity. Capacity is the "legal aptitude of a person to have rights and liabilities", as it says in this article. I think, in some cases, both words are synonyms in American and Canadian law and, therefore, people are confusing both of them, aren't they? I ask this because in all the other wikis, competence is the distribution of jurisdiction - the power the State has to say the law (Juris dictio, to say the law in latin). So, Jurisdiction and competence make a kind of a pair: the State has Jurisdiction within its territory and it's exercised through various courts; the rules that dictate which court will act in each case is the competence. It's possible that American law is different in this aspect, so the wikidata should be altered so that this article don't point to the wrong articles in the other wikis.
I added a version of this comment in the competence (law) article as well.
Hope you can understand. I'm not a native english speaker.

message: A section on natural resources with legal standing could be added.  Examples include Te Urewera and the Whanganui River.  And doubtless other examples too.  RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 22:33, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
