Questão jurídica principal
Whether the beneficial owners had standing to claim damages for losses on an account held by the Panamanian company.
Decisão extraída
No. Only the company as account holder and contractual creditor could assert claims, absent a valid assignment to the beneficial owners.
Fundamentação extraída
The beneficial owners were only indirect beneficiaries. The bank was contractually bound to the company, and the conditions for piercing the corporate veil were not met. Any loss suffered by the appellants was indirect or reflective.
