- pmyteh 2y agoNationalised industries can be (and often are) structured as ordinary companies where the government owns all the shares. The ability to sue thing also depends a lot on where you are. The Crown Proceedings Act 1947[0] waived most of the special protections government operations got, especially in "commercial" areas. So in practice it's not worse here than suing any other large organisation. [0]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Proceedings_Act_1947 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Proceedings_Act_1947
