ADDITIONAL NOTES ON THE FACTS OF SALOMON V SALOMON:
Mr Salomon was actually a debenture-holder of his company. A debenture is, broadly speaking, a long-term loan, and this is only important because debentures are often "secured" by the assets of the company (i.e. if you don't repay, I'll sell your stuff to get the money back instead). This made Salomon a "secured creditor" of his own company.
Why is this important? Well, it gives Salomon's own claim against his own company "priority" once the company goes bust and has to sell its stuff to pay off its debts. Usually, under this process, control over the company is granted to a "liquidator" who will "liquidate" the company's assets and pay off its debts, starting with secured creditors and ending at unsecured creditors. And quite a lot of the time, there isn't enough money left to pay the unsecured creditors.
If the principle of separate legal personality was not upheld, then Salomon would not just have to personally account for the debts of the unsecured creditors--he would also have lost his priority over them in claiming back the money loaned.
PLEASE NOTE: The “Borrow $” arrow at 1:34 was drawn the wrong way around! The company (debtor) borrows money from you (creditor). My bad, sorry!
Conclusion: Separate legal entity would stand even the business seems to be the same as before (1man business)
this was actually really well explained, thank you! :)
Thank you soo much for taking time to explain this🙏
I think "separate legal personality" and the extent to which it should be adhered to is the key issue in this case.

Hello, if have a question regarding the people that invested money in the business. Because they invested money in the company without becoming a shareholder; but why did they invest this money into the company, and how would they be compensated for these investments?
Or are these investors the 'unsecured' shareholders?
dividends
