Внизу объяснение термина, все понятно, просто нужен русский эквавилент.

Заранее спасибо,

The separate legal personality of a company means that is a different legal existence to the shareholders. A company may sue and be sued in its own name and holds property separately to its shareholders. As such the shareholders do not own the assets of the company, nor are they liable for its debts: they are the assets and liabilities of the company.

It is this separate legal personality that makes companies an attractive vehicle for commercial ventures, as the liability rests with the company, rather than the shareholders, directors, members or company officers.

The separate legal entity forms the basis for limited liability of shareholders. Shareholders' liability is limited to the moninal value of the shares allotted to them.

This separate legal personality has the consequence that a company has perpetual succession. Its legal existence survives its shareholders and directors. Its existence is ended when it is wound up pursuant to the Companies Acts.
