Q1.A review of the case reveals that Indri is the sole director and shareholder in his own company. The Australian law makes a clear distinction between a business and its owner. A business is therefore considered a separate entity from its owner. A company is regarded as a separate legal entity to its shareholders, directors as well as employees, all of whom have a limited liability. This principle was at one point affirmed by the House of Lords in the Salomon v Salomon case. In this case, a company is considered a new legal entity that is separate from all of its shareholders. The court did this is a one person company as is the case of Indri. Ramsay and Noakes (2001) noted that Windeyer J stated in a High Court case of Peate v Federal Commissioner of Taxation noted that a company represents new legal entity, a person in the very eyes of the law. This separate entity principle has persisted in the Anglo-Australian Corporate law for several years. Therefore whenever a company acts it does so in its own rights. Therefore the shareholders are never liable to the company's debt that lies beyond their initial investment as capital (Ciro et al,2009).

The conclusions to this work endeavour to consolidate thinking on the rule of law in order to address the question posed in the title, which is at first sight a deceptively simple one.

If you have ever taken a psychology or sociology class, you have heard of the film by Jean Kilbourne, Killing Us Softly 4, which maps out a variety of tropes found in advertisement with regards to gender roles in American society. Some of the themes are, but not limited to objectification, ageism, and dismemberment which are the tropes that I have decided to focus on for this research project. The laws surrounding women objectification is slim, and it is necessary to start implementing laws that protect women and how advertisements affect the minds of young women growing up today.
