v. to prove that a corporation exists merely as a completely controlled front (alter
ego) for an individual or management group, so that in a lawsuit the individual
defendants can be held responsible (liable) for damages for actions of the corporation.
If a corporation has issued stock and held regular meetings of shareholders and
directors, it is unlikely a judge will "pierce" the veil and limit the liability
to the corporation, unless there is proof that the corporation was created to accomplish
a fraud on those dealing with it.
