Legal Personality

Lifting the Veil of Incorporation
Lifting the veil of incorporation is an exceptional legal process where the separate legal entity principle of a corporation is disregarded to hold its members or directors personally liable, often applied in cases of wrongful or fraudulent trading.
Unincorporated Association
An unincorporated association is a group of individuals who come together for a common purpose but do not form a corporation or any other legal entity. Their structure lacks a separate legal personality, meaning any legal actions must be taken against the individual members rather than the association itself.
