Perseroan Terbatas Terbuka di Canada

Perseroan Terbatas Terbuka di Canada (Civil Law)
Kanada sebagai negara civil law memiliki sistem yang hampir sama dengan Indonesia
sebagai negara civil law. Di Kanada dikenal dengan Corporations dan Incorporations untuk PT
Terbukanya, tidak banyak perbedaan di antara keduanya, utamanya hanyalah di kode perusaan
ya itu Co. untuk corporations dan Inc untuk incorporations. Perseroan terbatas di Kanada
memiliki kode sebagai Ltd, Inc, Llc. Kode tidak terlalu menjadi masalah, perusahaan terbuka di
kanada adalah perusahaan yang mana sahamnya di perjual belikan di Toronto Stock Exchange. 1
Dalam hal struktur hukum, kewajiban mentaati peraturan, hal-hal yang dapat dilakukan atau
struktur pajak, tidak ada perbedaan antara keduanya. Baik Inc dan Co sama-sama perusahaan
terbuka dimana mereka menjual saham mereka ke masyarakat.

Pertanggung jawaban
Canada Business Corporations Act adalah hukum di kanada yang mengatur tentang
perseroan terbatas terbuka di Kanada. CBCA pasal 18:
Exemption from personal liability
(4) If expressly so provided in the written contract, a person who purported to act in the
name of or on behalf of the corporation before it came into existence is not in any event
bound by the contract or entitled to the benefits thereof.2
CBCA Pasal 45:
45. (1) The shareholders of a corporation are not, as shareholders, liable for any liability, act or
default of the corporation except under subsection


Dikarenakan namanya sebagai perusahaan perseroan terbatas, yang di artikan terbatas
di sini dimana pertanggung jawaban para pemilik saham hanya sebatas pada keuntungan dan
modal mereka yang disetorkan, tidak sampai ke harta pribadi mereka.3 Terdapat pemisahan
yang jelas antara perseorangan dengan perusahaan sebagai badan hukum, sehingga jika terjadi
apa-apa maka yang dapat dituntut dan dimintai pertanggung jawaban, adalah perusahaannya,

bukan ke perseorangan. Kecuali, memang terbukti terdapat tindakan kesalahan yang dilakukan
oleh seseorang sebagai suatu kesatuan individu bukan badan hukum (Piercing The Corporate
Veil).
