Mortimer v. McCool
Whether, in this matter of first impression, the Supreme Court should adopt the "enterprise theory" or "single entity" theory of piercing the corporate veil when two or more sister companies operate as a single corporate combine?
Status: Opinion Issued July 21, 2021. The Court declined to adopt a form of enterprise liability for piercing the corporate veil, saying the facts of this case would not allow it. The court did however invite lower courts to take up the enterprise liability doctrine when appropriate under the facts.
