Entity

o1.legal.Entity

trait Entity(val name: String)

An Entity object represents a legal entity. A legal entity is essentially something that can sue or be sued in court, such as a person, a corporation, or a sovereign nation. That is, an Entity can be the plaintiff of the defendant in a CourtCase. (This is an approximation of the real-world concept.)

There are different kinds of legal entities; the trait Entity describes what is common to them all: they have a name, a contact person, and a kind, which is a textual description of the more specific type of the entity.

Parameters

name: the name of the legal entity, such as "Jane Doe" or "ACME Inc."
