The article touches upon the question of the legal
personality of farm unincorporated as a whole and in
trading relations. The author gives scientific concepts
concerning the recognition / non-recognition of farm
unincorporated as a subject of law. Most scientists
believe that the farm unincorporated does not subjects
of law. Proponents of this view consider the farm
unincorporated as a multiplicity of persons, or as a kind
of special partnerships. The author thinks that these
points of view are questionable. The author joins the
persons who think that the farm unincorporated is a
special subject of law. The author understands the

subject of the trade relationship. This is because the
farm unincorporated is not a subject of civil law, but it
is a subject of other branches of law (for example, land
law and labor law). Therefore, a farm unincorporated
can be the subject of trading relations
