English translation of the principle

A person may be a partner in a company and an employee of it at the same time. The reason is that there is no conflict between the intention to participate, which rests on the idea of equality, and the employment relationship, which rests on the idea of subordination. - A partner bound by an employment contract with it is an employee of a person and not of his partners. An example.
Arabic original
جواز أن يكون الشخص شريكاً في شركة وعاملاً لديها في آن واحد. علة ذلك أنه لا تعارض بين نية المشاركة التي تقوم على فكرة المساواة وبين رابطة العمل التي تقوم على فكرة التبعية. - الشريك الذي يرتبط بعقد عمل لديها هو عامل لدى شخص وليس لدى شركائه. مثال.
