Practice point: A plaintiff must show that complete domination was exercised over a corporation with respect to the transaction attacked, and that such domination was used to commit a fraud or wrong against the plaintiff, resulting in plaintiff’s injury.
Student note: The corporate veil will be pierced to achieve equity, even absent fraud, when a corporation has been so dominated by an individual or another corporation and its separate entity so ignored that it primarily transacts the dominator's business instead of its own and can be called the other's alter ego.
