Opinion
April 16, 1991
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (C. Beauchamp Ciparick, J.).
In seeking to recover back salary and other compensation, plaintiff has made out a prima facie case for attempting to pierce the corporate veil of the defendant. Plaintiff was hired by Furmark, and served at his direction and pleasure during the period 1983-87, notwithstanding the fact that his salary checks may have been drawn by a corporate entity not a party to this action. The document discovery plaintiff seeks, which was ordered as long ago as December 1989, and which was never the subject of a motion for protection or appeal until October 1990, may shed light on the alleged connection between Furmark and his corporate structure.
