• Case 37.7: Piercing the Corporate Veil on page 636
37.7 Piercing the Corporate Veil M.R. Watters was the majority shareholder of several closely held corporations, including Wildhorn Ranch, Inc. (Wildhorn).

All these businesses were run out of Watters’s home in Rocky Ford, Colorado. Wildhorn operated a resort called the Wildhorn Ranch Resort in Teller County,

Colorado. Although Watters claimed that the ranch was owned by the corporation, the deed for the property listed Watters as the owner. Watters paid little

attention to corporate formalities, holding corporate meetings at his house, never taking minutes of those meetings, and paying the debts of one

corporation with the assets of another. During August 1986, two guests of Wildhorn Ranch Resort drowned while operating a paddleboat at the ranch. The

family of the deceased guests sued for damages. Is Watters personally liable? Geringer v. Wildhorn Ranch, Inc., 706 F.Supp. 1442, Web 1988 U.S. Dist. Lexis
