  1. In re U.S. Vision Data Breach Litig.

    1:22-cv-06558 (D.N.J. Feb. 26, 2025)

    To be sure, a plaintiff must make more than “bare-boned allegations of undercapitalization and common control and/or management” to state an alter ego claim. Holzli v. Deluca Enters., No. 11-6148, 2012 WL 983693, at *2-3 (D.N.J. Mar. 21, 2012) (quoting Wrist Worldwide Trading GMBH v. MV Auto Banner, No. 10-2326, 2011 WL 5414307, at *5-6 (D.N.J. Nov. 4, 2011)).

    Holzli v. DeLuca Enters., Civ. A. No. 11-06148, 2012 WL 983693, at *2 (D.N.J. Mar. 21, 2012) (quoting Craig, 843 F.2d at 150); Ramirez, 644 F.Supp.2d at 507.

  3. Diebler v. Sanmedica Int'l

    CIVIL 19-20155 (NLH)(MJS) (D.N.J. Oct. 28, 2021)   Cited 3 times

    27 at *4 (D.N.J. Apr. 10, 2014) (citing Holzli v. DeLuca Enterprises, No. CIV. 11-06148, 2012 WL 983693, at *3 (D.N.J. Mar. 21, 2012); Wrist Worldwide Trading GMBH v. MV Auto Banner, No. CIV.A. 10-2326 PGS E, 2011 WL 1321794, at *5 (D.N.J. Mar. 30, 2011). Additionally, “[w]hen a cause of action seeks to pierce the corporate veil on the basis of fraud, it is subject to Fed.R.Civ.P. 9(b)['s]” heightened pleading standards.

  4. Creditors Relief LLC v. United Debt Settlement LLC

    Civil Action No. 17-7474 (D.N.J. Dec. 30, 2019)   Cited 3 times

    It does not plausibly allege in what way EIIS and United Settlement have blurred their corporate identities, nor through what mechanism Bluvstein dominated EIIS. See Richmond, 2014 WL 1405159, at *4 (dismissing alter ego claim where complaint was devoid of "factual allegations supporting how or why [Verni] factors were present"); Holzli v. DeLuca Enterprises, No. 11-06148, 2012 WL 983693, at *3 (D.N.J. Mar. 21, 2012) (same). Because Plaintiff has "merely pleaded the generic formula for veil piercing and [has] not pleaded facts to support [its] claim," Holzli, 2012 WL 983693, at *4, it has not adequately pled alter ego liability.

  5. Fish Kiss LLC v. N. Star Creations, LLC

    Civil Action No. 17-8193 (JBS/AMD) (D.N.J. Aug. 13, 2018)   Cited 13 times   1 Legal Analyses

    In order for a court to pierce the corporate veil under New Jersey law, "a plaintiff must show that: (1) one corporation is organized and operated as to make it a mere instrumentality of another corporation, and (2) the dominant corporation is using the subservient corporation to perpetrate fraud, to accomplish injustice, or to circumvent the law." Bd. of Trustees of Teamsters Local 863 Pension Fund v. Foodtown, Inc., 296 F.3d 164, 171 (3d Cir. 2002)(citing Craig v. Lake Asbestos of Quebec,Ltd., 843 F.2d 145, 149 (3d Cir. 1988)); see also Holzli v. Deluca Enterprises, No. 11-6148, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 38880, 2012 WL 983693, at 2 (D.N.J. Mar. 21, 2012). Furthermore, "[a]n individual may be liable for corporate obligations if he was using the corporation as his alter ego and abusing the corporate form in order to advance his personal interests."
