In Russian civil legislation the consumer is a citizen who concludes the contract of retail sales for purposes not related to business activities. Incorporated person has no right to conclude a contract of retail sales. Therefore the law on consumer protection is not used for legal entities. The law on consumer protection gives to consumers an opportunity for simplified procedure to challenge acts or omissions of the sellers and protection of their rights. But at the same time the incorporated person may acquire the goods, works and services not for business purposes. In particular, this occurs when incorporated person buys goods for its professional aims, not just for its implementation. The authors think that legislator unreasonably violates the rights of legal entities, because they can not be consumers. The authors justify the possibility and the necessity of recognizing the incorporated person as a consumer in the contract of retail sale, and that will allow spreading the legal norms of consumer protection on them
