Abstract

The article discusses the doctrine of corporate personality and the reportedly unjust foundation of English company law as of 2014, focusing on the British House of Lords' ruling in the nineteenth century legal case Salomon v. Salomon & Co. Ltd. which deals with liquidators' rights and Great Britain's Joint Stock Companies Act. A separate legal entity doctrine is mentioned, along with British case law and various judgments by English courts. Great Britain's Parliament is also examined.
