A Suffolk judge has refused to pierce the corporate veil against the principal of a construction company to enforce a $2.2 million judgment over a failed project, ruling that the plaintiffs failed to show that the principal misused the corporate form and deliberately dissipated the company’s assets.

Supreme Court Justice Emily Pines (See Profile) found in a July 1 order in Vivir of LI v. Ehrenkranz, 043523/09, that while there was evidence that Julian Boylan, principal of the now-defunct construction company, had used company funds for himself, it was not enough to pierce the corporate veil.
