Which of the following statements is not true of legal personality ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The assertion that a foetus can never have legal personality is too absolute. Law can recognise an unborn child for limited beneficial purposes, such as contingent inheritance, generally subject to subsequent live birth. Legal personality concerns capacity to hold legally recognised rights and duties; it also extends to corporations and, in the appropriate endowment context, a Hindu deity.
