Separate Legal Entity

A public limited corporation is nevertheless recognised by the law even if all of its members pass away, become insolvent, or declare bankruptcy. The company's existence will be unaffected by the lives of its shareholders or members unless it is terminated by resolution.

Separation of Ownership and Management
