- Title
Why Courts Pierce: An Empirical Study of Piercing the Corporate Veil.
- Authors
Matheson, John H.
- Abstract
"The whole problem of the relation between [owners and their] corporations is one that is still enveloped in the mists of metaphor. Metaphors in law are to be narrowly watched, for starting as devices to liberate thought, they end often by enslaving it. " "Do you notice anything intellectually disturbing about this [standard piercing-the-corporate-veil] formulation? That's right; it's vague. It hardly gives you any concrete idea about which conduct does or does not trigger the doctrine - not enough of an idea, at least, to give you the ability to counsel clients in a meaningful way."
