Application of piercing the corporate veil in investment law

Abstract

In terms of addressing Piercing the Corporate Veil, it’s a law principle that relates to Limited Liability Companies.

Knowing this concept is important due to the dynamism of business law and investment law, where the company’s organs often engage in actions solely for personal benefit.

Through normative legal research and a legal and conceptual approach, namely the doctrine of Piercing the Corporate Veil, it’s application to the company’s in investment law will be discussed
