You sue the company, not a person. Why would you assume companies can't be sued if they're not 'people?'

- msla 9y ago> Why would you assume companies can't be sued if they're not 'people?' Because that's literally why corporate personhood exists: To be able to sue companies. And I find it very illuminating that the only response demonstrates ignorance.
- Retra 9y agoIf the law says you can sue a company, then you can sue a company. There is no reason why a company has to be a person for this to occur. In fact, I'm looking at the federal rules of US civil procedure right now, and they say nothing about 'personhood' being required to take action. They say "A civil action is commenced by filing a complaint with the court" and it has a specific section called "SERVING A CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP, OR ASSOCIATION" and it goes on and on about officers, general agents, representing attorneys, and other such appointed persons who will become involved in such a case. So perhaps you should actually take a look at the law before you accuse others of ignorance.
