Company law

“…There may, however, be cases where the wording of a particular statute or contract justifies the treatment of
parent and subsidiary as one company, at least for some purposes; or where the court will ‘pierce’ (or ‘lift’) the
corporate veil. The doctrine of piercing the corporate veil should only be invoked where a person is under an
existing legal obligation or liability or subject to an existing legal restriction which he deliberately evades or
whose enforcement he deliberately frustrates by interposing a company under his control”.
(Halsbury’s Laws (5th edn, 2010) vol 14, para 116)
