Raymond owns a bakery on main street that specializes in making custom cookies for special events. He has twenty years of baking and cookie decorating experience and has received numerous awards for his work. Clarice enters the bakery on morning to inquire about Raymond baking some cookies for her daughter’s birthday. The two enter into a contract in which Raymond agrees to bake two dozen cookies and decorate the cookies as characters from Clarice’s daughter’s favorite show.  In their discussions, Raymond tells Clarice the cookies will be ‘approximately half a pound each’ in size.

William Carlton was the sole shareholder in ten New York City corporations, including Seon Cab Corporation.  Each corporation owned two taxicabs, and each cab was covered by the minimum $10,000.00 automobile liability insurance required under New York State law.  A taxicab owned by Seon Cab Corporation struck and severely injured John Walkovsky, who sued for damages.  Walkovsky named all ten corporations, Carlton individually, as well as the individual driving the cab that hit him, as defendants.  The plaintiff alleged that the corporations, although seemingly independent of one another, operate as a single entity, unit and enterprise with regard to financing, supplies, repairs, employees, and garaging.  The plaintiff asserted that the multiple corporate structure constituted an unlawful attempt to defraud members of the general public who might be injured by the cabs.  He sought to hold Carlton, the sole shareholder of each corporation, personally liable for his injuries. 1.  Is there…
