The monograph explores the principle of separate legal personality in UK company law, tracing its historical origins, theoretical rationale, and significance for corporate governance. It examines the drawbacks of the doctrine and the circumstances in which statutory provisions and case law permit exceptions through piercing the corporate veil. Special attention is given to the interpretation, scope, and rationale of such exceptions, highlighting the balance between safeguarding corporate autonomy and preventing misuse. The work contributes to academic debate and offers a systematic analysis relevant for both theory and practice. The book is intended for researchers, postgraduate students, legal practitioners, and policymakers in the field of company law and corporate governance.
