"If any general rule can be laid down, in the present state of
authority, it is that a corporation will be looked upon as a legal
entity as a general rule, and until sufficient reason to the contrary
appears; but, when the notion of legal entity is used to defeat
public convenience, justify wrong, protect fraud, or defend crime,
the law will regard the corporation as an association of persons."
