二、公司法人格否认法理的理论基础
The Theoretical Basis of Denying Corporate Personality
公司法人格否认法理，又被称为“刺破公司面纱”或“公司法人格否认”，是指为阻止公司独立人格的滥用和保护公司债权人利益及社会公共利益，就具体法律关系中的特定事实，否认公司与其背后的股东各自独立的人格及股东的有限责任，责令公司的股东（包括自然
人股东和法人股东）对公司债权人或公共利益直接负责，以实现公平、正义目标之要求而设置的一种法律措施。

公司法人格否认法理是对公司法人制度的完善与补充，是在承认公司具有法人人格的前提下，对特定法律关系中的公司人格及股东有限责任加以否认，以规制股东滥用公司人格及有限责任，保护公司债权人及社会公共利益。

The legal principle of corporate personality denial, also known as "piercing the veil of the company" or "corporate personality denial," refers to a legal measure set up to prevent the abuse of the company's independent personality and protect the interests of creditors and the public interest of the company. Based on specific legal facts in specific legal relationships, it denies the independent personality and limited liability of the company and its shareholders, and orders the shareholders of the company (including natural person shareholders and corporate shareholders) to be directly responsible for the company's creditors or public interest, in order to achieve the requirements of fairness and justice. The legal principle of denying the corporate personality of a company is to improve and supplement the legal system of the
company. It is to deny the corporate personality and limited liability of shareholders in specific legal relationships on the premise of recognizing that the company has legal personality, in order to regulate the abuse of corporate personality and limited liability by shareholders, protect the interests of creditors and the public.
权利滥用禁止原则：这一原则要求任何主体在行使权利时，都不得损害他人的合法权益。

当股东滥用公司法人格，损害债权人利益时，权利滥用禁止原则就为公司法人格否认法理提供了理论基础。

The principle of prohibition of abuse of rights: This principle requires that no subject shall harm the legitimate rights and interests of others when exercising their rights. When shareholders abuse the corporate legal personality and harm the interests of creditors, the principle of prohibiting abuse of rights provides a theoretical basis for the denial of corporate legal personality.
公平正义原则：公平正义是法律的基本原则之一。

如果股东滥用公司法人格，逃避债务或损害社会公共利益，这显然违背了公平正义原则。

因此，公司法人格否认法理通过否认公司法人格，实现公平正
义。

The principle of fairness and justice: Fairness and justice are one of the fundamental principles of the law. If shareholders abuse the corporate legal personality, evade debt or harm the public interest, it clearly violates the principle of fairness and justice. Therefore, the legal principle of denying corporate legal personality achieves fairness and justice by denying corporate legal personality.
公司社会责任理论：现代公司理论认为，公司不仅应对股东负责，还应对社会负责。

当公司股东滥用公司法人格，逃避社会责任时，公司法人格否认法理就有必要介入，以保护社会公共利益。

Corporate Social Responsibility Theory: Modern company theory holds that companies should not only be responsible to shareholders, but also to society. When shareholders of a company abuse their corporate legal personality and evade social responsibility, it is necessary to intervene in the denial of legal personality to protect the public interest.
诚实信用原则：诚实信用原则要求所有主体在民事活动中都应保持诚实、善意，并遵守信用。

当股东滥用公司法人格，违反诚实信用
原则时，公司法人格否认法理就提供了法律手段，对这种行为进行规制。

The principle of good faith: The principle of good faith requires all parties to maintain honesty, good faith, and abide by credit in civil activities. When shareholders abuse the corporate legal personality and violate the principle of good faith, the denial of corporate legal personality provides legal means to regulate such behavior.
公司法人格否认法理的理论基础是多方面的，它旨在保护债权人利益和社会公共利益，维护公平正义，促进公司的社会责任和诚实信用原则的实现。

The theoretical basis for denying the legal personality of a company is multifaceted, aiming to protect the interests of creditors and the public interest, maintain fairness and justice, and promote the realization of the company's social responsibility and the principle of good faith.
三、公司法人格否认法理的适用条件
The Applicable Conditions of the Legal Principle
of Denying Corporate Personality
公司法人格否认法理的适用并非随意而为之，它需要满足一系列严格的条件。

这些条件不仅体现了对公司法人格独立地位的尊重，也确保了公司法人格否认制度不被滥用。

The application of legal principles in denying corporate legal personality is not arbitrary and requires a series of strict conditions to be met. These conditions not only reflect respect for the independent status of corporate legal personality, but also ensure that the system of denying corporate legal personality is not abused.
提起公司法人格否认之诉的主体必须是公司债权人。

这是因为公司法人格否认制度的核心目的在于保护债权人的合法权益，防止公司股东或实际控制人利用公司法人格独立地位损害债权人利益。

同时，债权人提起此类诉讼时，必须能够证明其权益受到了实际损害。

The subject of a lawsuit to deny the legal personality of a company must be the company's creditors. This is because the core purpose of the system of denying corporate personality is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of creditors and prevent shareholders or actual controllers of the company from
using the independent status of corporate personality to harm the interests of creditors. At the same time, when creditors file such lawsuits, they must be able to prove that their rights have been actually damaged.
公司法人格否认的适用需要满足行为条件，即公司股东或实际控制人必须实施了滥用公司法人格独立地位和股东有限责任的行为。

这些行为包括但不限于：利用公司法人格独立地位规避法律义务、逃避债务、进行不正当关联交易等。

这些行为必须达到滥用的程度，即股东或实际控制人故意或过失地利用公司法人格独立地位损害债权人
利益。

The application of the denial of corporate personality needs to meet the behavioral conditions, that is, the shareholders or actual controllers of the company must have committed acts of abusing the independent status of corporate personality and limited liability of shareholders. These behaviors include but are not limited to: using the independent status of corporate legal personality to evade legal obligations, evading debts, engaging in improper related party transactions, etc. These behaviors must reach a level of abuse,
where shareholders or actual controllers intentionally or negligently exploit the independent status of corporate legal personality to harm the interests of creditors.
公司法人格否认的适用还需要满足结果条件，即债权人的债权因股东或实际控制人的滥用行为而受到严重损害。

这种损害必须是实际存在的，且与公司股东或实际控制人的滥用行为之间存在直接的因果关系。

如果债权人的债权损害并非由股东或实际控制人的滥用行为所导致，或者损害程度轻微，那么就不应适用公司法人格否认制度。

The application of the denial of corporate personality also needs to meet the result condition, that is, the creditor's rights are seriously damaged due to the abuse of behavior by shareholders or actual controllers. This kind of damage must actually exist and have a direct causal relationship with the abusive behavior of the company's shareholders or actual controllers. If the damage to the creditor's rights is not caused by the abuse of shareholders or actual controllers, or if the degree of damage is minor, then the system of denying corporate personality should not be applied.
公司法人格否认的适用还需要遵循一定的程序条件。

这包括提起
诉讼的时效、管辖法院、举证责任等方面的规定。

例如，债权人必须在法定时效内提起诉讼，否则将丧失胜诉权；债权人需要承担举证责任，证明股东或实际控制人存在滥用公司法人格独立地位的行为以及该行为与债权损害之间的因果关系。

The application of denial of corporate legal personality still needs to follow certain procedural conditions. This includes provisions on the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit, the court of jurisdiction, and the burden of proof. For example, creditors must file a lawsuit within the statutory time limit, otherwise they will lose their right to win the lawsuit; Creditors need to bear the burden of proof to prove that shareholders or actual controllers have engaged in abusing the independent status of corporate legal personality and the causal relationship between such behavior and damage to creditors.
公司法人格否认法理的适用需要满足主体条件、行为条件、结果条件和程序条件等多方面的要求。

这些条件的设置旨在确保公司法人格否认制度不被滥用，同时保护债权人的合法权益。

在实践中，法院应当严格审查相关条件是否满足，以确保公司法人格否认制度的正确
适用。

The application of the legal principle of denying corporate legal personality requires meeting various requirements such as subject conditions, behavioral conditions, outcome conditions, and procedural conditions. The setting of these conditions aims to ensure that the system of denying corporate personality is not abused, while protecting the legitimate rights and interests of creditors. In practice, the court should strictly review whether the relevant conditions are met to ensure the correct application of the system of denying corporate personality.
四、司法实践中公司法人格否认法理的具体操作

Only by fully understanding the situation of the case can we accurately determine whether there is an abuse
of corporate legal personality.
法院在判断是否存在滥用公司法人格的行为时，应当综合考虑各种因素。

这包括但不限于公司的资本充足率、公司治理结构、公司运营情况、公司股东的出资情况、公司董事、监事、高级管理人员的行为等。

法院需要对这些因素进行全面的分析和评估，以判断是否存在滥用公司法人格的行为。

When determining whether there is an abuse of corporate legal personality, the court should consider various factors comprehensively. This includes but is not limited to the company's capital adequacy ratio, corporate governance structure, company operations, shareholder contributions, and the behavior of company directors, supervisors, and senior management. The court needs to conduct a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of these factors to determine whether there is any abuse of corporate legal personality.
再次，法院在决定是否适用公司法人格否认法理时，应当遵循公平、公正、合理的原则。

法院需要在保障各方利
益的基础上，做出公正的判决。

Once again, the court should follow the principles of fairness, impartiality, and reasonableness when deciding whether to apply the legal principle of denying corporate personality. This means that when deciding whether to apply the legal principle of denying corporate personality, the court should not only consider the interests of the company, but also consider the interests of other relevant parties, including the company's creditors, shareholders, employees, etc. The court needs to make a fair judgment on the basis of safeguarding the interests of all parties.
法院在适用公司法人格否认法理时，应当遵循法律的规定，严格掌握适用的条件和标准。

这包括对公司法人格否认的适用范围、适用条件、适用程序等方面的准确把握。

只有在符合法律规定的情况下，才能适用公司法人格否认法理。

When applying the legal principle of denying the legal personality of a company, the court should follow the provisions of the law and strictly grasp the applicable conditions and standards. This includes an accurate
understanding of the scope, conditions, and procedures for denying the legal personality of a company. The legal principle of denying corporate legal personality can only be applied if it complies with legal provisions.
司法实践中公司法人格否认法理的具体操作需要法院全面、深入地了解案件情况，综合考虑各种因素，遵循公平、公正、合理的原则，严格掌握适用的条件和标准。

只有这样，才能确保公司法人格否认法理的公正、公平、合理适用，维护公司的正常运营，保护各方利益。

The specific operation of denying the legal personality of a company in judicial practice requires the court to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the case situation, comprehensively consider various factors, follow the principles of fairness, impartiality, and reasonableness, and strictly grasp the applicable conditions and standards.
