To anyone who knows more about law, is it legally/morally justifiable to hold individual executives liable for company tactics to this extent? Why don't they just ban/fine the company instead?
- lclarkmichalek 12y agoDepends heavily on the kind of law, and the kind of company. In the US, the main attraction of being a LLC is that the liability, for the most part, stops at the juridical person level, with natural persons being protected. Doesn't apply to this case, as SK law is probably radically different.
- PMan74 12y agoIANAL but (in Ireland) liability usually stops with the company unless the directors are shown to have acted outside company law. Given that Uber's business model seems to be based on "fuck the law, we'll do what we want" - in my view is that the management, morally, can't rely on that same legal system to insulate them from punishment.
- theli0nheart 12y agoLegally, maybe yes, maybe no. But morally? I say yes. Corporations are not autonomous blobs bereft of accountability.
