Even if an external legal person signs an agreement with the person in charge of the company that does not bear legal responsibility, it has no legal effect on the outside world. The legal representative has been registered in the industrial and commercial registration and has the effect of publicity. An agreement with the person in charge cannot be against a third party.
External legal persons are risky. If it bears civil liability, the company bears the main responsibility. As the legal representative, the responsibility is very small, except for the fault; Assuming that there is criminal responsibility and the unit is suspected of committing a crime, the legal representative should bear criminal responsibility. As a new entity in civil law, the company bears external responsibilities with its own property. The legal representative only represents the company externally, and all civil liabilities shall be borne by the company, not the legal representative.
