This paper considers whether unlawful means conspiracy might have a role to play in extending liability from insolvent companies to those who stand behind them. A reason for thinking that the tort might have such a role is that, where an agreement to injure exists, liability can be found not only in those who commit unlawful acts but in any other persons who take steps to further the conspiracy. The paper argues, furthermore, that courts should accept that unlawful means conspiracy might be committed between even the smallest company and its controlling shareholder. This would strengthen the propositions that the company is a separate legal person with its own rights and responsibilities and that it is competent to deal with all comers, including its controller.
