Termination of Legal Entities: Evolution of Legal Grounds and Dynamics of Statistical Data

In the Russian legal order, the exclusion of an organization from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities by decision of the registration authority statistically prevails over other grounds for termination of civil legal capacity. The actual grounds for exclusion from the register are mainly legal structures in which the passive behavior (inaction) of the legal entity itself and its creditors are the main circumstances. There is a dynamic of positive law in this area: now a legal entity can lose its civil legal capacity at the initiative of its founders – as a result of the active behavior of civil law entities. An analysis of the norms of the law and official statistics leads to the conclusion that the rules on the exclusion of legal entities from the register, coupled with a flexible legal (registration) policy, make it possible to stabilize the number of subjects of economic relations. The emergence of a normative model for the exclusion of legal entities from the register is a consequence of complex technical and economic processes: an increase in the intensity of civil property turnover, digitalization of society and the economy.
