In Daimler v Continental tyre and rubber case, i did follow up till the point where the court lifted the veil and saw that the workers are Germans and all the shares are owned by them. (except for the secretary)
What happens next?
Since Daimler is an English company, how does that change the decision of the case?September 30, 2016 at 4:23 pm #342136The fact that Daimler was an English registered company is the whole point behind the case!
ALL those involved with the company were Germans (except the company secretary) and to require Continental to go ahead with the contract would be requiring them to trade with the enemy!
What do you think Daimler would have done with all those tyres and half-tracks? Ship them off to North Africa where Field Marshall Rommel was fighting Field Marshall Montgomery in World War II
What better time to lift the veil and what did the Court find behind that veil?
An entire Panzer division!

Yes, you’re correct
