El levantamiento del velo societario, su aplicación en el Ecuador.

Abstract

The lifting of the corporate veil is a legal figure that is intended to prevent certain activities that could harm third parties from behind the legal formalism that plays a shield role. It is used to be a solution in those abuses committed by natural persons, using the company in between. This lifting of the corporate veil can only be admitted in an exceptional way, so it breaks the natural division that the company produces with its partners or administrators, if it becomes generalized, this would lead to the destruction of the real purpose of the creation of legal personality. The judges are responsible for resolving and determining the responsibility of the partners, if they respond with their personal assets. It is impossible to determine all acts contrary to the law that can be committed through a company, however, within our legislation we have certain institutions such as law fraud and abuse of law, which cover very generally fraudulent acts that can be committed.
