Abstract
After many years of pending litigation and exhaustive work, United States District Court Judge, John F. Keenan issued a comprehensive decision rejecting Indian plaintiffs' arguments seeking to extend liability to Union Carbide Corporation (UCC), US, and instead dismissed all claims against UCC and its former Chairman, Warren Anderson. [Janki Bai Sahu, et al., plaintiffs, against Union Carbide Corporation and Warren Anderson, defendants].This paper seeks to pin point whether UCC was liable for the acts of UCIL through the Principle-Agent Relationship and how J.Keenan rebutted those claims. This paper brings out as to how the ‘liability based on the 'alter ego' doctrine leading to piercing of corporate veil’ can be established with the help of the principle as to corporate veil piercing in holding-subsidiary relationship.
