Shaping the identification mechanism of a commercial law relationship is one of the key steps towards the construction of a commercial law system. The traditional theories of identifying a commercial law relationship are insufficient in several ways: the particularity of the objects of rights is of limited significance for the identification of commercial law relationships; the traditional commercial law subject theory is too formalistic for practical use; and identifying commercial law relationship through the subject’s transaction experience and other factors can be misleading and has no legal basis. The Chinese Civil Code uses commercial factors as one of the elements for consideration when applying norms in principle and sets a single particular norm for enterprises. The general history of commercial codes has revealed that the enterprise is the common basis of the commercial laws across different countries. In the sense of an average normative type, an enterprise could be defined as an independent and continuously operating business organization composed of the minimum labor force and multiple property elements, appearing in the market as suppliers for profit-seeking purposes. Rural usufructuary households and sole traders can use commercial registration to determine their identity as a business entity. Profit-seeking legal persons and unincorporated economic organizations are enterprise operators by legal default. Other legal persons could be enterprise operators by virtue of their business activities. On the basis of enterprise and enterprise operators, commercial law norms could be further developed in three different dimensions. |
