Wikipedia, under United Kingdom Company Law states the following:

“English law recognised long ago that a corporation would have "legal personality". Legal personality simply means the entity is the subject of legal rights and duties. It can sue and be sued. Historically, municipal councils (such as the Corporation of London) or charitable establishments would be the primary examples of corporations.”

The concept of corporations having some of the same rights as individuals has been established in US law since the early 1800’s, and is the law in many countries around the world, and for good reason.

It’s a great post overall.
