UCD Sutherland School of Law (BLREG) are happy to announce that Prof. Poonam Puri will be visiting the School to present a paper entitled 'Piercing the Corporate Veil: The Case Between Parent and Foreign Subsidiary Corporations'.

Professor Puri is one of Canada’s leading experts in corporate governance, corporate law and securities law and will be speaking on how multinational corporations use the doctrine of the corporate veil, among other structures and strategies, to limit their liability and avoid accountability on human rights and environmental abuses.

She will also speak to an interesting, emerging trend in Canadian litigation, where the courts seem to be exhibiting a greater willingness to listen to arguments that extend beyond traditional corporate law principles in the context of parent corporate liability for the actions of its foreign subsidiary corporation.

This presentation will take place on Tuesday, 10 October 2017 at 14:00 in the Harty Boardroom, L106, Sutherland School of Law.

Dr Marie-Luce Paris' most recent publication is a book co-edited with Professor John Bell from Cambridge University.

Constitutional review has become an essential feature of modern liberal democratic constitutionalism. In
particular, constitutional review in the context of rights litigation has proved to be most challenging for the courts.
By offering in-depth analyses on changes affecting constitutional design and constitutional adjudication, while
also engaging with general theories of comparative constitutionalism, this book seeks to provide a heightened
understanding of the constitutional and political responses to the issue of adaptability and endurance of rightsbased
constitutional review. Providing structured analyses the editors combine studies of common law and civil
law jurisdictions, centralized and decentralized systems of constitutional review, and large and small jurisdictions.
