The Comparison of Regulation and Implementation of The Piercing The Corporate Veil Doctrine To Directors in Corporate Law

The implementation of the doctrine of piercing the corporate veil, especially against directors, by the courts in Indonesia is still inconsistent. This is partly due to the absence of guidelines for judges. In contrast, there are clear arrangements and guidelines for judges in the UK in applying the doctrine of piercing the corporate veil, especially against directors. This research aims to compare the regulation and application of the doctrine of piercing the corporate veil against directors in Indonesia and the UK and find the substance of the regulation and application in the UK that can be applied in Indonesia. This research uses normative juridical research methods. The results show that the regulation regarding piercing the corporate veil for directors in Indonesia is still general and there are no application guidelines for judges. In contrast, the UK has guidelines and precedents that can assist judges. The existence of guidelines for applying the doctrine of piercing the corporate veil, especially for directors, is a regulatory substance needed in Indonesian Company law. Such guidelines can also avoid inconsistencies in judges' decisions in similar cases.Keywords: Piercing the corporate veil, Director, Indonesia, United Kingdom AbstrakPenerapan doktrin piercing the corporate veil khususnya terhadap direksi oleh pengadilan di Indonesia masih belum konsisten.

Abstract

The implementation of the doctrine of piercing the corporate veil, especially against directors, by the courts in Indonesia is still inconsistent. This is partly due to the absence of guidelines for judges. In contrast, there are clear arrangements and guidelines for judges in the UK in applying the doctrine of piercing the corporate veil, especially against directors. This research aims to compare the regulation and application of the doctrine of piercing the corporate veil against directors in Indonesia and the UK and find the substance of the regulation and application in the UK that can be applied in Indonesia. This research uses normative juridical research methods. The results show that the regulation regarding piercing the corporate veil for directors in Indonesia is still general and there are no application guidelines for judges. In contrast, the UK has guidelines and precedents that can assist judges. The existence of guidelines for applying the doctrine of piercing the corporate veil, especially for directors, is a regulatory substance needed in Indonesian Company law. Such guidelines can also avoid inconsistencies in judges' decisions in similar cases.Keywords: Piercing the corporate veil, Director, Indonesia, United Kingdom AbstrakPenerapan doktrin piercing the corporate veil khususnya terhadap direksi oleh pengadilan di Indonesia masih belum konsisten.
