Best Answer

A corporation has a legal existence separate and apart from its shareholders (or members) and, even in the case of company which is wholly or substantially held by a single person, that single person is not liable--in the absence of fraud or other limiting factors--for the debts of the company he or she has incorporated.

The doctrine of Salomon v. Salomon Co. Ltd. is that of separate legal personality. Even though it has been undermined by exceptions allowing for the lifting of the corporate veil, it still is considered to be bedrock English law.

Who owns a trust?

A trust isn't something that is owned. A trust is a legal arrangement by which one entity holds legal title to property for another. The grantor of trust, or the entity that created the trust, may think in terms of owning the trust in the case of a revocable trust, however, the title to the trust property is always held by the trustee.


How many judges in the Salomon v Salomon Co Pty Ltd 1897 AC 22 case?

As I recall from my days in law school, many many years ago, Old Man Saloman was in the shoe business. Britain enacted a statute providing for the incorporation of businesses. A corporation then had to have at least seven shareholders. Old Man Salomon formed a corporation, with all seven shareholders being members of his family. The business of the corporation eventually went under, leaving considerable unpaid debts. (I think that by the time the case got to court, Old Man Salomon had kicked the bucket.) The creditors argued in court that the shareholders should be liable for the debts of the corporation, because they were all related to Old Man Salomon, and that the corporation was set up a mere sham. The court held in favour of the shareholders, Old Man Salomon's relatives. The fact that the shareholders were all related to Old Man Salomon was irrelevant in determining that the corporation legitimately existed as a separate entity, and thus the individual shareholders were not held liable for the corporation's debts.

Did the Jeffrey Dahmer case result in an important legal precedent?

Legal precedent is an existing legal ruling. It comes from case law, or past judicial decisions and cases. Precedent is binding, unless overturned by a higher court. I don't think no lawyer will find Dahmer's case useful establishing a legal case using a principle or rule that a court or other judicial body may utilize when deciding subsequent cases with similar issues or facts unless the lawyer is seeking Life imprisonment in a case were a death sentence is more probable.
