The correct answer is: A. Lord Lindley.
Lord Lindley was a British judge who served as Lord Justice of Appeal from 1897 to 1905. He is best known for his work on company law, and his statement that “a company is an artificial person created by law having a separate entity with a perpetual succession and a common seal” is one of the most famous and influential statements in the field of company law.
Lord Lindley’s statement was made in the case of Salomon v Salomon & Co. Ltd. (1897), in which the House of Lords held that a company is a legal person separate from its members. This means that a company can own property, enter into contracts, and sue and be sued in its own name. It also means that the members of a company are not personally liable for the debts of the company.
Lord Lindley’s statement has been cited in numerous cases, and it is considered to be one of the fundamental principles of company law. It is a reminder that companies are not just groups of people, but are legal entities with their own rights and responsibilities.
