Question juridique clé
Whether the holding company could be held liable through transparency/veil-piercing under Art. 2 CC
Solution extraite
The complaint was inadmissible because, in an international setting, transparency liability is governed by the law of the dominated company; the appellant did not challenge the application of Singapore law, and even under Swiss law the facts did not show abuse.
Motifs extraits
The subsidiary was a legally independent Singapore company that employed the appellant, paid his salary and benefits, and there was no abuse in relying on the separate corporate personality of a classic holding structure.
