Critères d’appréciation de l’égalité devant la loi
6. Egalité devant la loi - Champ d’application - personnes morales
Si, historiquement, la Constitution luxembourgeoise a entendu viser sous le terme de «Luxembourgeois» les seules personnes physiques, force est actuelle- ment à la Cour de retenir à partir du libellé non distinctif opéré et de l’évolution allant dans le sens de la création de moult personnes morales sur base des différentes lois les prévoyant, que le même terme est appelé à englober tant les Luxembour- geois, personnes physiques, que les personnes morales de droit luxembourgeois.
La possibilité d’invocation de cette disposition constitutionnelle se trouve en- core conditionnée non seulement par l’existence même de la personnalité juridique dans le chef du groupement considéré, mais encore par son opposabilité aux tiers, exigence non vérifiée en l’état actuel des données soumises à la Cour.
