Corporate personality: a shield to company's members?
(Faculty of Law, Lead City University, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2016-12) Onakoya, O.; Oni, S. O.
Business entities upon registration by the Registrar of Companies and award of certificates of incorporation thereof, become registered Companies. The issue of a certificate of incorporation incorporates the members of the Company into a persona at law with other attendant consequences. However, the issue of the Status of the Company as a corporate legal personality was not given a clear legal Interpretation until the celebrated English case of SALOMON v. SALOMON CO. LTD. ([1897] A. C. 22; 66) which later became a locus classicus on this subject. It is imperative to note that there are two controversial judgments in this case at the court of first instance and the Court of Appeal respectively before the matter was laid to rest at the House at Lords. This paper seeks to examine some germane issues raised by the House of Lords in this case. Some of the questions bother on whether the principle is essentially to protect members of the Company, the management or employees of the Company against the third party. To what extent can the principle serve as a shield, if it is one? Or is such a protection absolute? Laws are not usually enacted to take retrospective effect, therefore holistic approach should be adopted with a view to properly situate pre-incorporation contract, particularly where the going-concern was previously operating as a ‘business name’ and or ‘registered partnership’.
Splenic lymphoma in an adult local bitch-a case report
(2008) Oni, S. O.; Akinrinmade, J. F.; Ajadi, R. A.; Eyarefe, O.D.; Olaifa, A. K.
A four-year old local dog weighing 12kg was presented four days after signs of persistent anorexia and dullness were observed. Physical examination of the bitch revealed a circumscribed distension of the left lateral abdomen about 5cm caudal to the rib cage, which on palpation appeared firm, discrete and nodular but painless. X-rays views confirmed that the mass was intrasplenic and had a fat density. Blood and urine samples were analysed, the result of which showed proteinuria, bilirubinuria and neutrophilic leucocyosis. Exploratory laparotomy and spleenectomy were carried out. The extirpated spleen had pendunculated projection. The biopsy of the spleen revealed that the tumour is a lymphoma
