Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As previously stated, the mere fact that Kramer was an officer and the sole shareholder in R.I.C., Inc., does not in and of itself make this situation one in which the corporate form should be disregarded. Cooper v. Industrial Commission, 74 Ariz. 351 , 249 P.2d 142 (1952). The evidence would have to show that the corporation was not only influenced and governed by defendant Kramer, but that there was also such a unity of interest and ownership that the individuality or separateness of defendant Kramer and the corporation had ceased to exist. Whipple v. Industrial Commission, 59 Ariz. 1, 121 P.2d 876 (1942): Home Builders & Suppliers v. Timberman, 75 Ariz. 337 , 256 P.2d 716 (1953). A review of the record in this action has failed to disclose any basis for such a finding herein. There was no substantial evidence of intermingling of corporate and personal assets, affairs or funds, or that the corporate structure was in any way used for other than legitimate corporate purposes. Further, there would have to be a showing that observance of the corporate form would sanction a fraud. See Home Builders & Suppliers v. Timberman, supra; Phoenix Safety Investment Co. v. James, 28 Ariz. 514 , 237 P. 958 (1925). While it is clear that plaintiffs did not receive the benefit of their bargain, that alone does not constitute any evidence of fraudulent conduct and it is not sufficient to justify the disregarding of the corporate entity.” 11 Ariz.App. at 476 , 465 P.2d at 613 .”
