Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

22. Eve Teasing
What is Eve Teasing ?
Eve teasing is a euphemism used in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan
for sexual harassment or molestation of women by men. Considered
a growing problem throughout the subcontinent, eve teasing ranges
in severity from sexually suggestive remarks to outright groping.
Some guidebooks to the region warn female tourists that eve teasing
may be avoided by wearing conservative clothing, though eve
teasing is reported both by Indian women and by conservatively-
dressed foreign women.
In recent years the Indian government has made some efforts to
round up eve teasers. The deployment of plain clothed female police
officers for the purpose has been particularly effective.
23.
24. Legal redress
• Although Indian law doesn't use the term 'Eve Teasing', victims earlier
usually seek recourse through Section 294 of the Indian Penal Code, which
sentences a man found guilty of making a girl or woman the target of
obscene gestures, remarks, songs or recitation to a maximum jail sentence
of three months. Section 292 of the IPC clearly spells out that showing
pornographic or obscene pictures, books or papers to a woman or girl
results in a fine of Rs.2000 with two years imprisonment for first offenders.
In the case of a repeated offence, the offender may have a fine of Rs.5000
with five years imprisonment imposed. Under Section 509 of the IPC,
obscene gestures, indecent body language and negative comments directed
at any woman or girl or exhibiting any object which intrudes upon the
privacy of a woman, carries a penalty of imprisonment for one year or a
fine or both. The Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013 introduced
changes to the Indian Penal Code, making sexual harassment an expressed
offence under Section 354 A, which is punishable up to three years of
imprisonment and or with fine. The Amendment also introduced new
sections making acts like disrobing a woman without consent, stalking and
sexual acts by person in authority an offence.
25. • The National Commission for Women (NCW) also proposed No 9. Eve
Teasing (New Legislation) 1988.The Indian Parliament has passed The
Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and
Redressal) Act, 2013, which add protections for female workers in most
workplaces. The Act came into force from 9 December 2013.
26.
27. Sexual Harassment
What Is Sexual Harassment ?
• “Sexual harassment is being forced to have sexual interaction that you don't
want to have. It's in an environment where a woman is always being
sexually aggressed against and has to tolerate that, or she has no job….”
• , sexual harassment is any form of sexual behavior which is unwelcome
and unwanted such as physical contact, a demand for sexual favors,
sexually colored remarks, showing obscene pictures and pornography and
any other verbal or physical conduct. It could be subtle, covert, explicit,
repeated and prolonged or a one time event.
• , it was reiterated that ‘any action or gesture which, whether directly or by
implication, aims or has the tendency to outrage the modesty of a female
employee, must fall under the general concept of the definition of sexual
harassment’. This basically implies that it is not just physical contact which
28. constitutes sexual harassment. Moreover, sexual harassment is defined not
by the intention of the harasser. YOU decide if it is sexual harassment. And
it is so, if you find it offensive or become uncomfortable!
Who can be the victim?
Studies show that sexual harassment can happen to anybody, anywhere, of
any age and at any time. While it happens mostly to women, even a man
can become a victim. In a same-sex relationship, the perpetrator is a man
against a man or a woman against a woman.
Who is the perpetrator?
Again, it could be anybody. The perpetrator could be known to you or
could be a stranger. Sexual harassment is not about sex, it is about power
play. A man harasses because he thinks he can.
Where can it happen?
It could happen in a public place, in the privacy of the home, at the
workplace and in college/campus. We will be dealing with each one
separately.
29. Who is to blame for the act of sexual harassment?
People might imply that you i.e. your clothes, time, or attitude had
something to do with it. It’s not you but the perpetrator who should be
accused!
Clothes have anything to do with it?
No. Sexual harassment has nothing to do with your clothes. Wearing
Western/ tight/ short clothes is not the reason for harassment. Those are
merely the excuses men (and women) give to shift the blame onto the
victim. Men also harass women who are ‘decently’ dressed. They harass
ALL women, irrespective of their clothing or age.
30. Preventing Sexual Harassment
• Preventing sexual harassment must be an ongoing priority. Training that
occurs over time, across settings, and includes the entire faculty, staff, and
administrative personnel will be more effective than a one-time session of
training for the teachers.
• Classes covering civil rights, diversity, or tolerance can include the topic of
sexual harassment, and provide opportunities for ongoing discussion about
respectful behaviour. In addition to integrating this topic with existing
coursework, specific materials about sexual harassment should be available
for classroom use. Although a short video clip about sexual harassment
may be appropriate to start a discussion, a video in isolation is not as
effective as a discussion in changing student attitudes and behaviour.
• Students prefer to talk with adults and peers about their observations,
feelings, and experiences. Materials to assist with classroom and school-
wide training on sexual harassment are listed in the “Resources” at the end
of this handout
