Company law.
A company is regarded in law as being a separate legal 'person', with a separate legal personality. This means that it has rights separate from its owners and managers to enter into contracts, employ people, own property and conduct business. The creation and management of a company is governed by the Companies Act 1985 (CA '85) and the Companies Act 1989.

By far the largest number of incorporated companies are incorporated with limited liability, being limited by shares as defined by section l(2)(a) СA '85. The potential financial liability of a member (in other words shareholder) in such a company is limited to the amount, if any, remaining unpaid on the shares held by that particular member. Such a company is known as a limited company and will have the word 'Limited' at the end of its name.
