Attribution of liability to United Kingdom companies
Attribution of liability to United Kingdom companies involves the rules of contract, agency, capacity, tort and crime as they relate to UK company law. They establish under what circumstances a company may be sued for the actions of its directors, employees and other agents.
==Principles of attribution==
While a limited company is deemed to be a legal person separate from its shareholders and employees, as a matter of fact a company can only act through its employees, from the board of directors down. So there must be rules to attribute rights and duties to a company from its actors.〔See ''Meridian Global Funds Management Asia Ltd v Securities Commission'' () 2 AC 500〕 This usually matters because an aggrieved third party will want to sue whoever has money to pay for breach of an obligation,〔cf ''Stone & Rolls Ltd v Moore Stephens'' () UKHL 39, where a thin majority of the House of Lords held that an illegal act by a shareholder would be attributed to the company even though a liquidator was now standing in the company's shoes and would therefore be barred by ''ex turpi causa non oritur actio''.〕 and companies rather than their employees often have more money.
