PIERCING THE CORPORATE VEIL (ALTER EGO) ALLEGATIONS PROPERLY SURVIVED MOTION TO DISMISS.

The First Department determined defendants’ motion to dismiss breach of contract causes of action founded in part on piercing the corporate veil was properly denied:

[Plaintiff] alleged that [defendant] Diaz Rivera, exercised “complete dominion and control” and “complete business discretion” over “all aspects of [the corporation’s] management and operations,” and that [the corporation] and Diaz Rivera failed “to follow normal and customary corporate procedures with regard to [the corporation],” in that [the corporation] “fail[ed] to hold required meetings for [the corporation’s] partners, [and] fail[ed] to prepare and keep corporate records.” Finally, [defendant] alleged that Diaz Rivera, with an improper motive, commingled his funds with [corporation] funds, resulting in inadequate capitalization. …

We find that the allegations of an absence of corporate formalities, inadequate capitalization, and the commingling of corporate and personal funds, as well as the allegations that Diaz Rivera directed [the corporation] to take various actions that harmed [defendant], including failing to transfer property rights, siphoning resort revenues, and incurring unnecessary taxes, are sufficient to withstand this pre-answer motion to dismiss the complaint, based on alter ego liability, as against Diaz Rivera. Cargill Soluciones Empresariales, S.A. de C.V., SOFOM, ENR v Desarrolladora Farallon S. de R.L. de C.V.,2017 NY Slip Op 00069, 1st Dept 1-5-17
