I was fighting a court case against on such person a few years ago. In
Aus, you can have a one director proprietory company, so my case was
against his company, who went out of "its" way to cheat me, so I wasnt
attacking his assets protected by his company structure, I was
defending myself. (He was the director of his own company).

I not only won, but the judge made it very clear what she thought of
his reprensible behaviour.

When it came time for damages and costs, she informed me that unless I
had informed him that we would chase him in his own right for them,
she could not award either.
Her comments spoke volumes. "As a judge, I would penetrate the
corporate vale at my peril". She could see the injustice she was bound
by.

Of course, my lawyer knew this, but thats a whole different story :-)

Sean:
Yet another reason not to trust someone in the system, to go to the Library
and be your own defense lawyer. I can't recall when a Lawyer has given me
the correct advice but once, and she was "pro bono". She was so good in
fact, and had I had done my homework so well, that I was the first
non-custodial parent to get not only legal aid, but won the case against the
ATO/Child Support Agency hands down.

They still owe me 6 plus years of my life, but in the long run it turned out
for the best.

Interesting co-incidence Brian ? The lawyer was the youngest daughter of my
eldests sons Pediatrician who played a significant role in an emergency
ceasear.
