Piercing the Corporate Veil in Non-Insolvency Matters

Introduction

In non-insolvency matters, the circumstances in which the corporate veil may be pierced are limited: it is not enough to show that there has been impropriety.

This webinar will consider key case law and judicial guidance on when it is appropriate to do so.

You will be provided with practical examples of the narrow approach taken by the court and will consider the alternative remedies available to a claimant.
