“Subject to law” refers to the concept that all transactions, agreements, and actions are subject to the applicable laws, rules, and regulations of the government[1]. The subject of law refers to the holder of the rights and obligations under the law, which can be individuals or legal entities[2]. Each legal system must have persons who are subject to its laws[3]. In plain English, “subject to” is used when an exception from a rule or provision contained in a different clause of the contract needs to be introduced[5].
Subjective rights are always relational between legal subjects, with regard to one or more legal objects, such as property or an obligation[6]. The practical effectiveness of such rights depends on their mode of existence, which is upon the interpretability of the text, the institutional fact of the right can be argued for by the legal subject or their representative, and in turn authoritatively deduced by the court by means of another speech act, namely a judgment[6]. The ability to initiate a legal process requires a party with standing to do so, usually the legal subject or their direct representative[6].
