Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of piercing the corporate veil in public interest matters. The concept is explored in light of a shift from a business-centred view of company law to a society-centred view of company law. The article identifies a trend towards enterprise liability in public interest matters and that internationally there is a trend in case law in which the norm adressee of enterprise liability is increasingly strechted. The article will set out different enterprise concepts defined as norm adressees in different legislative contexts and explains why these cannot be simply transferred from one to the other.
