“If the corporation had a mind at all, if it engaged in any mental reflections about its ship (which surely any ship-owner must do), then it was abundantly clear that anything Mr. Lennard thought about the ship was, from a legal point of view, not Mr. Lennard’s private thought. Regardless of what a biologist might say about the phenomenon of Mr. Lennard’s contemplating the state of the ship’s boiler, the proper legal view is clear: his thoughts were corporate thoughts, for in his head was the corporate mind.”
-quoted in Corporate Law in Canada: the Governing Principles, Bruce Welling, Butterworths 1984
