Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the insurer under Bulgarian law. The insurer is a branch-type legal subject because it is only in Bulgarian social security law that he is called ‘insurer’. This thesis partially contravenes Art. 5, para. 1 of the Social Security Code (SSC), yet it is consistent with the Constitution, which is ‘... the supreme law and the other laws may not contravene it ...’ and the norms of which ‘... have a direct effect ...’ (Art. 5, para. 1 and para. 2 Const.). Consideration is given to the insurer that may be either an individual or a legal entity, and arguments in favour thereof are put forward. A comparison is made between the concept of ‘insurer’ and other similar legal figures.
