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.

Mr Solomon was a Victorian bootmaker. He sold the assets of his business to a company Solomon & Co Ltd. of which he was the sole (or virtually the sole shareholder). He continued to trade as a bootmaker in his own name and went bust. His creditors tried to seize the assets of the business (now owned by Solomon & Co Ltd. The decision of the court was that Solomon & Co Ltd formed a separate legal entity from Mr Solomon. Mr Solomon's debts were not the debts of Solomon & Co. Ltd. The rule is that a properly formed limited liability company is a legal entity in its own right.
