Introduction
A company can be defined as a group of persons associated together for
the purpose of carrying on a business, with a view to earn profits. However,
one must remember that companies may also be formed for the promotion
of commerce, art, science, religion or charity or any useful object under the
Companies Act.
Lord Justice Lindley defines the company as A company is an
association of many persons who contribute money or moneys worth to a
common stock and employ it in some trade or business and who share a profit
and loss arising there from. The common stock so contributed is denoted in
money and is the capital of the company. The people who contributeit or to
whom it belongs are members. The proportion of capital to which each
member is entitled is his share. The shares are always transferable although
the right to transfer is often more or less restricted.
A company, formed and registered under the Company Act, is
regarded by law as a single person, having specified rights and obligations.
The law confers on a company a distinct legal personality, with perpetual
succession and a common seal.
