He held the majority of shares, while other shareholders were nominal, including family members. After the company went into liquidation, creditors sought to hold Salomon personally liable for the company's debts. The House of Lords upheld the principle of separate legal personality, affirming that the company was a distinct entity from Salomon, thereby protecting him from personal liability for the company's debts.
