The general rule of corporate law states that the members of capital commercial companies are not personally liable for the obligations of said company. Their accountability is usually limited by the amount of stakes they have obliged to invest in the company. This article opens up a discussion of cases in which the corporate veil of the company is pierced and, consequently, the members themselves become personally liable for the debts of the company. There is specific statutory provision for the piercing of the corporate veil in the Commercial Companies Act of Croatia in Article 10 Section 3 that mentions abuse of law (or “abuse of corporate form”) as the number one legal requirement for such piercing to commence. This creates a substantially different legal environment than that created of other foreign law and judicial practices such as Germany, England or USA. The said provision implies a broader role for the doctrine but also fails to answer significant open questions regarding the legal reach and the required nature of burden of proof that would then constitute the grounds for veil piercing. The analysed foreign and domestic judicial cases paint a picture of questionably unreliable judicial practice which results in legal uncertainty. Seeing how the application of the institute in Croatia witholds many unanswered questions, a great responsibility is given directly to the judicial system, explicitly judges themselves. Hence, they are called upon to a great task of further development of the piercing of the corporate veil.
