COMPANIES ACT 1965LEVEL 2
● It is originated from common law principle established in the English case of Trevor v. Whitworth.
● Lord Herschell held that:“what is the meaning of the distinction drawn between a company without limit on the liability of its members and a company where the liability is limited, but in the latter case, to assure to those dealing with the company that the whole of the subscribed capital, unless diminished by expenditure upon the objects defined by the memorandum, shall remain available for the discharge of its liability. The capital may no doubt be diminished by expenditure upon and reasonably incidental to all the objects specified. A part of it may be lost in carrying on the business operations authorized. Of this all persons trusting the company are aware and take the risk. But I think they have a right to rely and were intended by the legislature to have a right to rely on the capital remaining undiminished by any expenditure outside these limit or by the return of any part of it to the shareholders”
