Bus/Financial - Law (general)
Spanish term or phrase: legitimado pasivo
This is Mexican spanish. An experts opinion on whether the architects can be held liable for faults and defects in a lawsuit brought on contractual grounds.
I don't get the meaning here of legitimación activa or legitimado pasivo.
Help appreciated,

De otro lado, la legitimación activa del contratista para reclamar en virtud de la LOE a otros agentes de la edificación considero que es inexistente. No está contemplado en el tenor del art. 17 donde sólo aparecen como legitimado pasivo. En el apartado 1 dice que las personas que intervienen en el proceso de la edificación (promotor, contratista, arquitectos, etc.) “responderán (legitimados pasivos) frente a los propietarios y terceros adquirentes” (legitimados activos).

After doing your whole paragraphy (other answer), your text here is dealing with implied versus express rights to sue. Express or implied rights as found in either the clauses of the contract or in the law.

  -> I'm afraid being a target as a DEFENDANT is not an 'entitlement' or a right - it's a question of standing.

legally entitled to be defendant


Explanation:
La legitimación Activa o Pasiva son categorías procesales que se encuentran dentro de la Legitimadad para obrar que es la capacidad que tienen las partes para ser válidos demandantes y válidos demandados. Cuando se habla de legitimación activa, quiere decir, que la ley les da el derecho de ser demandantes en determinados casos; y Legitimación pasivo es cuando son demandados. Lo que pasa en este caso que el Contratista generalmente tiene la legitimación pasiva, es decir, está sujeto de ser demandado por su Comitente o Propietario, es decir por la persona que le encargó el treabajo. Eso es lo normal que sucede siempre.
Espero haber contribuido a la comprensión de la idea general, ahora mi prpouesta de ytraducción, que puede ser mejorada después de haber comprendiod la explicación que he realizado líneas arriba.
Legitimado pasivo: legally entitled to be defendant
Legitimado activo: legally entitled to be plaintiff
