Ø CHAPTER II.
JURIDIC PERSONS Canon (102-113)
Canon 102 - The Imperial Temple of Kings and the Divine Serene Sovereign have the character of a moral person by divine ordinance itself. In the Temple, besides physical persons, there are also juridic persons, that is, subjects in canon law of obligations and rights that correspond to their nature.
Canon 103 - Juridic persons are constituted either by the prescript of law or by special grant of competent authority given through a decree. They are aggregates of persons (universitates personarum) or of things (universitates rerum) Ordered for a purpose which is in keeping with the mission of the Temple and which transcends the purpose of the individuals. The purposes are understood as those that pertain to works of piety, of the apostolate, or of charity, whether spiritual or temporal.
Canon 104 - The competent authority of the Temple is not to confer juridic personality except on those aggregates of persons (universitates personarum) or things (universitates rerum) which pursue a truly useful purpose and, all things considered, possess the means that are foreseen to be efficient to achieve their designated purpose.
Canon 105 - Juridic persons in the Temple are either aggregates of persons (universitates personarum) or aggregates of things (universitates rerum). An aggregate of persons (universitas personarum) which can be constituted only with at least three persons, is collegial if the members determine its action through participation in rendering decisions, whether by equal right or not, according to the norm of law and the statutes; otherwise it is non-collegial. An aggregate of things (universitas rerum), or an autonomous foundation, consists of goods or things, whether spiritual or material, and either one or more physical persons or a college directs it according to the norm of law and the statutes.
Canon 106 - Public juridic persons are aggregates of persons (universitates personarum) or of things (universitates rerum) which are constituted by competent ecclesiastical authority so that, within the purposes set out for them, they fulfill in the name of the Temple, according to the norm of the prescripts of the law, the proper function entrusted to them in view of the public good. Other juridic persons are private.
Canon 107 - Public juridic persons are given this personality either by the law itself or by a special decree of competent authority expressly granting it. Private juridic persons are given this personality only through a special decree of competent authority expressly granting it.
Canon 108 - No aggregate of persons (universitas personarum) or of things (universitas rerum), intending to obtain juridic personality, is able to acquire it unless competent authority has approved its statutes.
Canon 109 - Representing a public juridic person and acting in its name are those whose competence is acknowledged by universal or particular law or by its own statutes. Representing a private juridic person are those whose competence is granted by statute.
Canon 110 - With regard to collegial acts, unless the law or statutes provide otherwise: if it concerns elections, when the majority of those who must be convoked are present, that which is approved by the absolute majority of those present has the force of law; after two indecisive ballots, The Divine Serene Sovereign is called upon for final decision.
Canon 111 - A juridic person is perpetual by its nature; nevertheless, it is extinguished if it is legitimately suppressed by competent authority or has ceased to act for a hundred years. A private juridic person, furthermore, is extinguished if the association is dissolved according to the norm of its statutes or if, in the judgment of competent authority, the foundation has ceased to exist according to the norm of its statutes. If even one of the members of a collegial juridic person survives, and the aggregate of persons (universitas personarum) has not ceased to exist according to its statutes, that member has the exercise of all the rights of the aggregate (universitas).
Canon 112 - If aggregates of persons (universitates personarum) or of things (universitates rerum) which are public juridic persons, are so joined that from them one aggregate (universitas) is constituted which also possesses juridic personality, this new juridic person obtains the goods and patrimonial rights proper to the prior ones and assumes the obligations with which they were burdened. With regard to the allocation of goods in particular and to the fulfillment of obligations, however, the intention of the founders and donors as well as acquired rights must be respected.
Canon 113 - Upon the extinction of a public juridic person, the allocation of its goods, patrimonial rights, and obligations is governed by law and its statutes; if these give no indication, they go to the juridic person immediately superior, always without prejudice to the intention of the founders and donors and acquired rights. Upon the extinction of a private juridic person, its own statutes govern the allocation of its goods and obligations.
Canon 103 - Juridic persons are constituted either by the prescript of law or by special grant of competent authority given through a decree. They are aggregates of persons (universitates personarum) or of things (universitates rerum) Ordered for a purpose which is in keeping with the mission of the Temple and which transcends the purpose of the individuals. The purposes are understood as those that pertain to works of piety, of the apostolate, or of charity, whether spiritual or temporal.
Canon 104 - The competent authority of the Temple is not to confer juridic personality except on those aggregates of persons (universitates personarum) or things (universitates rerum) which pursue a truly useful purpose and, all things considered, possess the means that are foreseen to be efficient to achieve their designated purpose.
Canon 105 - Juridic persons in the Temple are either aggregates of persons (universitates personarum) or aggregates of things (universitates rerum).

An aggregate of things (universitas rerum), or an autonomous foundation, consists of goods or things, whether spiritual or material, and either one or more physical persons or a college directs it according to the norm of law and the statutes.
Canon 106 - Public juridic persons are aggregates of persons (universitates personarum) or of things (universitates rerum) which are constituted by competent ecclesiastical authority so that, within the purposes set out for them, they fulfill in the name of the Temple, according to the norm of the prescripts of the law, the proper function entrusted to them in view of the public good. Other juridic persons are private.
Canon 107 - Public juridic persons are given this personality either by the law itself or by a special decree of competent authority expressly granting it. Private juridic persons are given this personality only through a special decree of competent authority expressly granting it.
Canon 108 - No aggregate of persons (universitas personarum) or of things (universitas rerum), intending to obtain juridic personality, is able to acquire it unless competent authority has approved its statutes.
Canon 109 - Representing a public juridic person and acting in its name are those whose competence is acknowledged by universal or particular law or by its own statutes. Representing a private juridic person are those whose competence is granted by statute.
Canon 110 - With regard to collegial acts, unless the law or statutes provide otherwise: if it concerns elections, when the majority of those who must be convoked are present, that which is approved by the absolute majority of those present has the force of law; after two indecisive ballots, The Divine Serene Sovereign is called upon for final decision.
Canon 111 - A juridic person is perpetual by its nature; nevertheless, it is extinguished if it is legitimately suppressed by competent authority or has ceased to act for a hundred years. A private juridic person, furthermore, is extinguished if the association is dissolved according to the norm of its statutes or if, in the judgment of competent authority, the foundation has ceased to exist according to the norm of its statutes. If even one of the members of a collegial juridic person survives, and the aggregate of persons (universitas personarum) has not ceased to exist according to its statutes, that member has the exercise of all the rights of the aggregate (universitas).
Canon 112 - If aggregates of persons (universitates personarum) or of things (universitates rerum) which are public juridic persons, are so joined that from them one aggregate (universitas) is constituted which also possesses juridic personality, this new juridic person obtains the goods and patrimonial rights proper to the prior ones and assumes the obligations with which they were burdened. With regard to the allocation of goods in particular and to the fulfillment of obligations, however, the intention of the founders and donors as well as acquired rights must be respected.
Canon 113 - Upon the extinction of a public juridic person, the allocation of its goods, patrimonial rights, and obligations is governed by law and its statutes; if these give no indication, they go to the juridic person immediately superior, always without prejudice to the intention of the founders and donors and acquired rights. Upon the extinction of a private juridic person, its own statutes govern the allocation of its goods and obligations.
TITLE VII.
JURIDIC ACTS (Canon 114-119)
Canon 114 - For the validity of a juridic act it is required that the act is placed by a qualified person and includes those things which essentially constitute the act itself as well as the formalities and requirements imposed by law for the validity of the act. A juridic act placed correctly with respect to its external elements is presumed valid.
Canon 115 - An act placed out of force inflicted on a person from without which the person was not able to resist in any way, is considered as never to have taken place. An act placed out of grave fear, unjustly inflicted, or out of malice is valid unless the law provides otherwise. It can be rescinded, however, through the sentence of a judge, either at the instance of the injured party or of the party's successors in law.
Canon 116 - An act placed out of ignorance or out of error concerning something that constitutes its substance is invalid. Otherwise, it is valid unless the law makes other provision. An act entered into out of ignorance or error, however, can give rise to a rescissory action according to the norm of law.
Canon 117 - When it is established by law that in Order to place acts a superior needs the consent or counsel of some college or group of persons, the college or group must be convoked according to the norm, when it concerns seeking counsel only, particular or proper law provides otherwise. For such acts to be valid, however, it is required that the consent of an absolute majority of those present is obtained or Decreed by the Divine Serene Sovereign
Canon 118 - All whose consent or counsel is required are obliged to offer their opinion sincerely and, if the gravity of the affair requires it, to observe secrecy diligently. The superior can insist upon this obligation.
Canon 119 - Whoever illegitimately inflicts damage upon someone by a juridic act or by any other act placed with malice or negligence is obliged to repair the damage inflicted.

Canon 119 - Whoever illegitimately inflicts damage upon someone by a juridic act or by any other act placed with malice or negligence is obliged to repair the damage inflicted.
TITLE VIII.
THE POWER OF GOVERNANCE (Canon 120-141)
Canon 120 - Those who have received sacred Orders are qualified, according to the norm of the prescripts of the law, for the power of governance which exists in the Temple by divine institution and is also called the power of jurisdiction. Lay members of the faithful can cooperate in the exercise of this same power according to the norm of law.
Canon 121 - Of itself, the power of governance is exercised for the external forum; sometimes, however, it is exercised for the internal forum alone, so that the effects which its exercise is meant to have for the external forum are not recognized there, except insofar as the law establishes it in determined cases.
Canon 122 - The ordinary power of governance is that which is joined to a certain office by the law itself; delegated, that which is granted to a person but not by means of an office.
Canon 123 - The ordinary power of governance can be either proper or vicarious.
Canon 124 - The burden of proving delegation rests on the one who claims to have been delegated.
Canon 125 - Habitual faculties are governed by the prescripts for delegated power. unless the grant expressly provides otherwise or the ordinary was chosen for personal qualifications, a habitual faculty granted to an ordinary is not withdrawn when the authority of the ordinary to whom it was granted expires, even if he has begun to execute it, but the faculty transfers to any ordinary who succeeds him in governance.
Canon 126 - A delegate who carries out those things for which the person was delegated in some manner other than that determined in the mandate is not considered to exceed the limits of the mandate unless the manner was prescribed for validity by the one delegating.
Canon 127 - In addition to the Divine Serene Sovereign, by the title of ordinary are understood in the law Grand Ministers, Ministers and others who, even if only temporarily, are placed offer some particular church or a community equivalent to it according to the norm.
Canon 128 - Within the context of executive power, those things which in the canons are attributed by name to the Grand Ministers are understood to belong only to a Grand Ministers and to the others made equivalent to him, except by special mandate.
Canon 129 - The power of governance is distinguished as legislative, executive, and judicial.
Canon 130 - Legislative power must be exercised in the manner prescribed by law; that which a legislator below the supreme authority possesses in the Temple cannot be validly delegated unless the law explicitly provides otherwise. A lower legislator cannot validly issue a law contrary to higher law.
Canon 131 - Judicial power which judges or judicial colleges possess, must be exercised in the manner prescribed by law and cannot be delegated except to perform acts preparatory to some decree or sentence.
Canon 132 - In what pertains to the exercise of executive power, the prescripts of the following canons are to be observed.
Canon 133 - Unless the nature of the matter or a prescript of law establishes otherwise, a person is able to exercise executive power over his subjects, even when he or they are outside his territory; he is also able to exercise this power over travelers actually present in the territory if it concerns granting favors or executing universal laws or particular laws which bind them according to norm of laws.
Canon 134 - Ordinary executive power can be delegated both for a single act and for all cases unless the law expressly provides otherwise. Executive power delegated by the Divine Serene Sovereign can be sub-delegated for a single act or for all cases unless the delegate was chosen for personal qualifications or sub-delegation was expressly forbidden.
Canon 135 - Executive power delegated by another authority who has ordinary power can be sub-delegated only for individual cases if it was delegated for all cases. If it was delegated for a single act or for determined acts, however, it cannot be sub-delegated except by express grant of the one delegating.
Canon 136 - Ordinary executive power as well as power delegated for all cases must be interpreted broadly; any other, however, must be interpreted strictly. Nevertheless, one who has delegated power is understood to have been granted also those things without which the delegate cannot exercise this power.
Canon 137 - Unless the law determines otherwise, the fact that a person approaches some competent authority, even a higher one, does not suspend the executive power, whether ordinary or delegated, of another competent authority. Nevertheless, a lower authority is not to become involved in cases submitted to a higher authority except for a grave and urgent cause; in this case, the lower authority is immediately to notify the higher concerning the matter.
Canon 138 - When several persons have been delegated in solidum to transact the same affair, the one who first begins to deal with it excludes the others from doing so unless that person subsequently was impeded or did not wish to proceed further in carrying it out. Executive power delegated to several persons is presumed to be delegated to them in solidum.
Canon 139 - Delegated power ceases by fulfillment of the mandate; by expiration of the time or completion of the number of cases for which it was granted; by cessation of the purpose for the delegation; by revocation of the one delegating directly communicated to the delegate as well as by resignation of the delegate made known to and accepted by the one delegating. It does not cease, however, when the authority of the one delegating expires unless this appears in attached clauses. Nevertheless, an act of delegated power that is exercised for the internal forum alone and is placed inadvertently after the lapse of the time limit of the grant is valid.
Canon 140 - Ordinary power ceases by loss of the office to which it is connected. Unless the law provides otherwise, ordinary power is suspended if, legitimately, an appeal is made or recourse is lodged against privation of or removal from office.
Canon 141 - In factual or legal common error and in positive and probable doubt of law or of fact, the Temple supplies executive power of governance for both the external and internal forum.
