“At the heart of this seminar lies an issue that can be stated in relatively simple terms:
‘ … reconciling the principle that a tortfeasor must meet the claimant’s reasonable expenses in coping with the injury he has caused with the ever increasing legislative burden on local authorities to provide care for those who cannot care for themselves and the ability (or otherwise) of local authorities to recoup the costs of so doing.” (per Scott Baker L.J. in Sowden v. Lodge [2004] EWCA Civ 1370 [101])'”

“Piercing the corporate veil is currently a hot topic with a difference of opinion between various judges on several of the finer points, especially in a contractual context (compare Burton J in Gramsci v Stepanovs [2011] EWCH 333 Comm with Arnold J in VTB v Nutritek [2011] EWCH 3107 CH). In the meantime, while the decision of the Court of Appeal in VTB is eagerly awaited, the doctrine is essential to do justice in practice in many cases even though its theoretical underpinnings remain somewhat elusive.”
