Piercing the Corporate Veil by Tort Creditors

Authors

Christopher W. Peterson

Abstract

This Article reviews the corporate veil-piercing tests courts are increasingly using to grant leniency to tort creditors and the justifications that are most likely to predict veil piercing success by such creditors. This Article concludes that courts tend to use the same veil piercing test for both contract and tort creditors, but re-weigh the factors that are influential in predicting such veil-piercing outcomes.
