    On winding up, the unsecured creditors contended that the company was not having independent existence as Salomon was the Managing Director of the company and the entire company was merely a sham. Their contention was that the limited firm was only a guise to conceal the real identity of the persons who own. However, it was held that Salomon and Co. Ltd. fulfilled all the requirements of the legislature. Further, it was held that the company cannot be equated with the members comprising it. The company was not the agent of Salomon. It was therefore, treated as a company, distinct and independent corporation. The trial judge made the declaration in favor of the company. Salomon then filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal agreed with the trial judges and dismissed the appeal. Salomon appealed to the house of lord and then the order was ultimately reserved in order of Salomon.…
