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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Our case law holds that the corporate identity will not be disregarded unless the individual sought to be charged with the corporation's liability has used the corporate identity as his alter ego. Forester Jerue, Inc. v. Daniels , 409 So.2d 830 (Ala. 1982). Also, this Court has held that a corporation is a 'distinct and separate entity from the individuals who compose it as stockholders or who manage it as directors or officers.' Cohen v. Williams , 294 Ala. 417 , 420 , 318 So.2d 279 , 281 (1975). Also, the 'corporate form is not lightly disregarded, since limited liability is one of the principal purposes for which the law has created the corporation.' Krivo Industrial Supply Co. v. National Distillers Chemical *Page 1000 Corp. , 483 F.2d 1098 , 1102 (5th Cir. 1973)."”
