Description
[Many large-scale businesses are conducted through the form of corporate groups, each company being a separate legal entity enjoying limited liability. This can create problems for those dealing with corporate group companies. This article makes two points: first, with reference to the theoretical literature on limited liability and veil-piercing, that the corporate veil should be pierced to impose liability on parent companies for conduct involving a lack of care and diligence or a lack of good faith in the dealings of their subsidiaries; and secondly, that the piercing should be done via statute, in effect codifying the liability of a parent company as a shadow director It is argued that this would overcome the vagueness of the present veil-piercing doctrine in Australia and send a message to parent companies that they cannot shield themselves behind the veil of incorporation to deny recovery to those affected by their decisions and their conduct.] I INTRODUCTION
