THE LEGAL REGULATION OF REPRESENTATION AND ITS FUNCTIONS IN CONTEMPORARY CIVIL LAW

Abstract

Representation is an integral part of contemporary civil law. Its benefits extend beyond the
interests of natural persons and legal entities, as it plays a crucial role in civil-law relations by
facilitating legal traffic. The objective of this paper is to present a detailed research on how
representation is regulated in contemporary civil law and its functions within the legal system. The
paper will focus on the development of representation in civil law systems through a comparative
analysis of the continental legal systems within Europe. The goal of this paper is to add to the
efforts of modernizing representation and enhancing its functions, especially the social-protection
function.
