Line 50:
''Less common types of companies are:''
*'''Companies formed by letters patent'''. Most corporations by letters patent are ''[[corporation sole|corporations sole]]'' and not companies as the term is commonly understood today.
*'''[[Royal charter|Charter corporations]]'''. Before the passing of modern companies legislation, these were the only types of companies.{{dubious}}<!-- even in the ancient Roman Republic? see [[Corporation#History]] --> Now they are relatively rare, except for very old companies that still survive (of which there are still many, particularly many British banks), or modern societies that fulfill a quasi regulatory function (for example, the [[Bank of England]] is a corporation formed by a modern charter).
*'''Statutory companies'''. Relatively rare today, certain companies have been formed by a private statute passed in the relevant jurisdiction.
