You are approached by the Attorney General of BC who ask you to explore the possibility of an amendment to corporate legislation to define when and how, and subject to what defenses, if any, the corporate veil may be pierced.

Your client then adds one caveat. You are told: "In making these amendments, insofar as possible, please consider our international competitiveness as a jurisdiction that wishes to attract more head offices, not fewer."

Be sure to list the substantive elements that you believe should be included in such a provision and explain your reasoning. In this regard, you need not provide a draft of such a statutory provision, merely illustrate what you would envision as the constituent elements of such a law, and why.
