I have added a section dealing with piercing the corporate veil in criminal law.
It occurs to me that this page might benefit from an update to include two recent (2012) decisions of the Court of Appeal in England & Wales, Civil Division - Petrodel Resources Ltd & Others v Prest & Others [2012] EWCA Civ 1395, which underlines the impregnability of the corporate veil where there has been no finding of impropriety or dishonesty in relation to the affairs of the company (even where the interests of justice would otherwise point to the desirability of lifting of the corporate veil) and the Chancery case, VTB Capital Plc v Nutritek International Corp & Others [2012] EWCA Civ 808, which deals extensively with issues connected with piercing the corporate veil.
