Jim Halter, the majority shareholder of J-Mart Jewelry Outlets, Inc., was aware that J-Mart was in financial trouble. Before J-Mart went out of business, Halter paid off his personal credit cards using corporate funds. There was specific evidence that the $6, 902.87 balance on Halter’s American Express personal account was paid by J-Mart, eight days before it ceased doing business. The check was marked “PAYMENT IN FULL – JIM’S PERSONAL”. There was also evidence that J-Mart, knowing that it would soon cease doing business, purchased a new Cadillac for Halter’s use. J-Mart then made three (3) payments on the vehicle before transferring it to Halter for $1.00 and allowing him to assume the remaining payments.

After J-Mart ceased operations, four (4) of its creditors brought suit against Halter in an attempt to recover amounts they were owed. The jury at the trial court level pierced the corporate veil and held Halter personally responsible for the debts. Halter appealed and the appellate court affirmed the ruling of the trial court.

Given what you know of the facts of the case, could Halter have provided any information that would lead you to believe he was not responsible for the debts? What would it be?

In August 1995, Smith Company ("Smith") entered into a lease with Jones Two, Inc. ("Jones"). By the terms of the lease, Jones leased a Washington D.C. property (the "Property") that was owned by Smith for a period of ten (10) years.

In 1995, when Jones originally entered into the lease it had not filed its articles of incorporation in any state. However, it represented itself as having been incorporated in New York and Smith relied on that representation. In 1996, Smith realized that Jones was not incorporated but it continued to honor its lease with Jones.

Jones finally got around to properly incorporating in New York in 1997.

At all times, Jones conducted business as if it were a corporation and it complied with all of the terms of the Smith Lease.

By 2000, the value of the Property had increased significantly and Smith was looking for a way to get out of its lease with Jones so it could enter into a lease with a higher rent provision. Smith thought back to the 1995 creation of the lease and it recalled that Jones was not incorporated at that time.

Smith provided Jones with a notice of termination of the lease and directed Jones to vacate the Property within 90 days stating that the lease was void since Jones did not legally exist at the time it entered into the lease. Jones refused to vacated and maintained that it was entitled to use the property until 2005 under the terms of the lease.
