Explanation:
A court will disregard the corporate form and pierce the corporate veil in five circumstances: first, if a party is tricked into dealing with the corporation rather than the individual; second, if the corporation is set up to always be insolvent or is thinly capitalized; third, if the corporation is formed to evade an existing legal obligation; fourth, if the corporation fails to follow the statutory corporate formalities ; and fifth, if the personal and corporate interests are commingled so that the corporation has no separate identity.
