Abstract
This report addresses a conceptual issue in the law and legal scholarship, namely the ambiguity in the concept of 'social enterprise' and particularly whether it is possible to develop it so as to identify it as a distinct legal category differentiating it from existing, related legal categories. Currently, 'social enterprise' is not a category of positive law in many jurisdictions and so the ability of the concept to harness social and market potential is limited. The situation is problematic as it hinders law's power to regulate both positively and negatively the phenomenon.
