English translation of the principle

Commercial companies enjoy legal personality independent of the personality of their partners. Stating the company’s distinctive name is sufficient for an action to be brought by or against it, without the need to state the name of its legal representative.

الشركات التجارية تتمتع بشخصية قانونية مستقلة عن شخصية الشركاء فيها. كفاية أن يذكر اسمها المميز لرفع الدعوى منها أو عليها دون حاجة لذكر اسم ممثلها القانوني.
