As we demonstrated in Legal Structuring of Companies (Editora Atlas), there is “a detail” in business activities that goes unnoticed by most of those involved. And it concerns an essential element: business acts are legal acts. It is there in the Civil Code: General Part, Book III, Title I: “Of Legal Business”. Articles 104 to 184 follow. Not to mention that, further on, there are essential provisions for any business activity, in general, lawful and unlawful acts, prescription, obligations, contracts.

Whether they like it or not, the mechanic, the baker, the fireman, the seamstress and all the others, whether acting individually or in partnership, are practicing legal acts continuously and repeatedly. Private business bulk sms india activities are a chain of legal acts. A salesperson says he knows about sales, a hairdresser says she knows about hair, and a restaurant owner says he knows about food.

– Law is not our business – they say.

It's not quite like that: Law applies to everyone. Everyone. And not only in terms of the Private Law governing business activities, but also in terms of tax, consumer, environmental, etc. Anyone who has committed an act that is classified as a crime is committing a crime, whether they are aware of the legal provision or not. Want to see? “Anyone who finds someone else's lost property and appropriates it, in whole or in part, failing to return it to the owner or legitimate possessor or to deliver it to the competent authority within fifteen days” commits the crime of “appropriation of found property” (article 169, II, of the Penal Code) and may be sentenced to imprisonment of one month to one year, or a fine. And what about the principle of cartularity?
