MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Standard Beauty Supply Stores, Inc., 561 F.2d 774 (9th Cir. 1977):

5 See also Plumbers & Fitters, Local 761 v. Matt J. Zaich Const. Co., 418 F.2d 1054, 1058 (9th Cir. 1969): "In principle . . . the disregarding of the corporate form of business should not rest on the manner of doing business in general but should rest on the effect that the manner of doing business has on the particular transaction involved. . . . Generally speaking, the doctrine is designed to prevent a person from doing injury and then escaping responsibility by hiding behind a corporate shield."
