Facts of the Case
Background
Electrical & Pulley obtained judgment against Shamu Trading and others, then attached property belonging to Shamu Pen Tip Company. Shamu Pen Tip, not being a party to the original judgment, brought interpleader proceedings to have its property released from attachment. Electrical & Pulley opposed, arguing the corporate veil should be pierced as the property was allegedly transferred to shield it from execution.
