§ 75.01 Introduction


A corporation can be viewed as an artificial person--an independent

being or entity. As such, except in certain notable instances, the federal

and state legal systems generally treat a corporation as they would an

individual. This Chapter addresses how the legal system sets forth certain

laws that concern corporations and analyzes the litigation process from

the corporate view. The following Chapter reviews the administrative

law system as it relates to corporations.




§ 75.02 Fundamental Considerations--Prerequisites


A threshold matter for assessing a corporation's ability to sue or be

sued is that it is in existence.1 A corporation comes into being when the

articles of incorporation are filed with the state and the applicable filing

fees are paid.2 Thereafter, it can sue or be sued. Even if the corporation

has ceased to do business, it may still be sued if it remains a legal entity.3

Most states require that a foreign corporation file with the state prior to

becoming involved in litigation in that state's courts.


In Minnesota the mechanism for this requirement is found in Minn.

Stat. § 303. Minnesota prohibits a foreign corporation from transacting

business in the state without a Certificate of Authority.4 To obtain a

Certificate of Authority the corporation must submit an application

specifying basic information regarding the corporation together with a

filing fee to the Secretary of State.5




§ 75.03 Power/Capacity


Most state corporation statutes, Minnesota's included, grant

corporations the power to sue and be sued. This does not mean that a

corporation can be a party to every legal action. Many legal rights

available to individuals under common law, statutes, and constitutions

are not available to corporations.
