COMPANY
CONCEPT OF LEGAL PERSONALITY
Separate legal personality from its members advantages - limited liability principle. But shareholders may still be liable for the companys debt. A corporate body with limited liability means the
shareholders of a company limited by shares are not liablefor more than what they have to contribute for the sharesthey get.
If the company is limited by guarantee, they are not liablefor more than amount they have agreed to contribute tothe assets on winding up.

CONCEPT OF LEGAL PERSONALITY Salomon v A. Salomon & Co. Ltd. (1897) AC 22
Salomon was a boot and shoe manufacturer. He ran his business as a sole trader. In 1892 Salomonformed a limited liability company. He gave his wife and children one share each in the company. He
then sold his shoe and boot business to the company for f39, 000. In consideration for the business, thecompany paid him partly in cash, partly in 20, 000 shares, and partly in 10, 000 debentures issued by
the company. By being a debenture holder, Salomon becomes a secured creditor of the company.
Salomon continued to run the business as one-man company. The business did not do well and aftersome time became insolvent. What was left of the assets of the company were not enough to pay off the creditors. It was mostly used to pay off the debenture held by Salomon. The other creditors tried toclaim that Salomon had no right to the remaining assets as the sale of this business to the company wasa sham, and that his wife and children were merely his nominees, and that Salomon and the company
were in fact one and the same.
Held that the incorporation process made Salomon and his company two separate persons. Even if thebusiness were the same as before, and it was still managed by Salomon himself, the company was not
an agent or trustee for the members. Although Salomon beneficially owned all the issued shares of thecompany, the court also recognized him as a separate person who can be a secured creditor withenforceable rights against the company.

ADVANTAGES OF INCORPORATION Creates a veil no direct proceedings against the
members but only against the company itself. reduces the need to monitor management and other
shareholders.
Limited liability together with free transfer of shares, willalso facilitate the market for control. An incentive for the management to perform efficiently. Would increase the volume of transactions that would
improve the information fed to the market place. Allows shareholders to diversity their shareholdings. Limited liability will result in a positive attitude to risk
taking and so would facilitate investment decisions.

EFFECTS OF INCORPORATION
Perpetual Succession After incorporation, continues to exist until it is dissolved according to the law or it is
struck off the register. Even if the membership changes, or all the original members die, the company does not
come to an end. This continuous life of the company is said to be perpetual succession.
Re Noel Tedman Holdings Pty Ltd. (1967) QDR 561;
The company had a husband and a wife as its only shareholders. They were also thecompanys directors. They died in an accident, leaving behind an infant child. After theirdeath the company still existed. The problem that arose was, as the shareholders anddirectors had died, the shares could not be transferred as according to the will of thedeceased to the infant child.
The court thus allowed the personal representative of the deceased to appointdirectors of the company, so that these directors could allow the transfer of the sharesto the child.

Power to Own Property
S. 19: a company has the power to hold land. Can own other types of property too. Property of a company is its own, and not that of its members. Even if a member holds almost all the shares of a company, he does
not have any proprietary interest in the companys property. Once a person has sold or given his property to the company he no
longer has any right over it.
The property belongs to the company, and the member no longer hasany right or interest.
