Essay Topic
Corporate groups are becoming a modern fact of commercial life. It is common for large companies with substantial operations to have many wholly-owned subsidiaries overseas. ‘Judicial authorities consistently state that without contractual obligations or statutory obligations or veil-piercing, creditors of each company are entitled to pursue only the resources of that company for payment of debts'.
It is necessary to take into account the circumstances in which the courts have sought to ‘pierce the corporate veil' and disregard the separate corporate entities of the holding company and its subsidiaries, treating the activities or operations of the subsidiary as the activities and operation of the holding company.
Critically examine the above statements following the structure prescribed below.
Prescribed structure of your essay (you are strongly encouraged to use the following breakdown as headlines in your essay):
