The Salomon v Salomon & Co Ltd case is a landmark decision in UK company law that established the principle of corporate personality, affirming that a company is a separate legal entity distinct from its owners. This ruling allows shareholders to enjoy limited liability, meaning they are only financially responsible for the company’s debts up to the amount they invested. The case set a precedent that protects shareholders from personal liability, thus encouraging investment and entrepreneurship. Its significance extends beyond the UK, influencing corporate law in many jurisdictions worldwide.
