Explain how the company is an artificial person.

Solution
  • A company is the creation of law and exists in the eyes of the law only. It is invisible and intangible.
  • It exists independent of its members. Like natural persons, a company can own property, incur debts, borrow money, enter into contracts, sue and be sued but unlike them, it cannot breathe, eat, run, talk and so on.
  • It is, therefore, called an artificial person.
