Creasey v Breachwood Motors Ltd [1993] BCLC 480 is a UK company law case concerning piercing the corporate veil.
Mr Creasey was dismissed from his post of general manager at Breachwood Welwyn Ltd.
He claimed that this constituted wrongful dismissal, in breach of his employment contract.
Other creditors were paid off, but no money was left for Mr Creasey's claim, which was not defended and held successful in an order for £53,835 against Breachwood Welwyn Ltd. Mr Creasey applied for enforcement of the judgment against Breachwood Motors Ltd and was successful.
The case was heavily doubted by the Court of Appeal in Ord v Belhaven Pubs Ltd.[1]
