Does the corporate veil need to be pierced?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from General Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Inc. v. Emil's Fun, Food & Spirits Emporium Ltd., 2006 SKQB 470 (CanLII):
There are no circumstances that lend any support to the submission that the corporate veil should be pierced. The facts do not justify a departure from the rule in Salomon v. Salomom, supra, since GRJ was legally incorporated and therefore must be treated like any other independent person not only with respect to its individual rights but also with respect to its liabilities. No exceptional circumstances exist to warrant a piercing of the corporate veil.
