Carrying out procedural acts

(1) Capable of carrying out procedural acts are 1. natural persons who have capacity to contract under civil law; 2. natural persons whose capacity to contract under civil law is limited, insofar as they are recognised, for the subject matter of the procedure, as having capacity to contract under provisions of civil law or as having capacity to act under provisions of public law; 3. legal persons and associations (section 10, no. 2) through their statutory representatives or through specially authorised agents; 4. authorities through their heads, their representatives or their agents.
(2) Where a consent reservation under section 1825 of the Civil Code concerns the subject matter of the procedure, a supervised person with capacity to contract has capacity to carry out procedural acts only to the extent that he or she may act without the consent of the custodian under the provisions of civil law, or is recognised as having capacity to act under provisions of public law.
(3) Sections 53 and 55 of the Code of Civil Procedure apply correspondingly.
