Supreme Court of Connecticut

McKay v. Longman

July 23, 2019

Summary

The concurrence joins the majority while emphasizing that Connecticut law recognizes a narrowly confined form of outside reverse piercing for actions filed before July 9, 2019. It supports the remedy only where a corporate entity is dominated and used as a shell to perpetrate injustice, traditional remedies are inadequate, and innocent shareholders, creditors, investors, or employees will not be harmed. The concurrence also agrees that the later-enacted statutory prohibition on reverse piercing does not apply retroactively to this action.
