I know, I know it would not be simple or necessarily beneficial in the short-term or maybe even the long-term. However, I’m tired of corporations being given all the rights of people, but never being treated like people in the legal system.
A person skips a mandatory court appearance, or fails to comply with a court order? Contempt charges, and jail until they comply. We need to do the equivalent to corporations.
Corporate equivalent? I dunno – freeze their assets immediately and embargo all sales activity until they comply.
I’ve been thinking for years that if we’re going to keep that corporate definition then we should designate that the entity is represented by the members of the boards. Any judgement leveled against the corporation would be applied to each board member in kind. I’m thinking more of the jail side than the fine side.
