Can a corporation’s directors or officers cause it to sign a contract?

The Court of Appeal went on to say that a corporation’s directors or officers may cause it to sign a contract, since a corporation can only operate through human agents. However, this does not mean that “if the actions of the directing minds are found wanting, that personal liability will flow through the corporation to those who caused it to act as it did”: Scotia McLeod v. People’s Jewellers, at p. 491… Directors and officers are responsible for their tortious conduct even though that conduct was directed in a bona fide manner to the best interests of the company, subject to the exception for liability for procuring a breach of contract (citations omitted)…the statement of claim must allege actions conducted by the individuals which are themselves tortious or exhibit a separate identity or interest from that of the corporation so as to make the act or conduct complained of their own…bald allegations that the individual defendants were the guiding minds or alter egos of the corporate defendants or that they dominated or controlled the corporation are not sufficient to pierce the corporate veil:(citations omitted).
