English translation of the principle

A company has a legal personality independent of that of its representative or its partners. Accordingly, naming it alone suffices validly to make it a party to proceedings. Any error in its representative’s name. No effect on the validity of service upon it. Example.
Arabic original
للشركة شخصية معنوية مستقلة عن شخصية ممثلها أو الشركاء فيها. لذلك يصح في اختصامها ذكر اسمها بمفردها. أي خطأ في اسم ممثلها. لا أثر له في صحة إعلانها. مثال.
