Constitution Insurance Co. of Canada 1987 1 S.C.R. 2 is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on the court s ability to pierce the corporate veil to impose an interest or liability, that is, upon the shareholders of a company instead of the company itself. It was held that the veil can only be lifted where it would be just and equitable , specifically to third parties. The case is also a leading source of insurance law. The insurer refused to indemnify Mr. Kosmopoulos on the grounds that the corporation owned the property, and that even though he was the sole shareholder of the corporation. The insurers position was consistent with the 1925 decision of the House of Lords in Macaura v. Northern Assurance. Although the SCC rejected the plaintiffs corporate veil argument, and a his bailee argument, the court did over rule the Macaura rule.
