The only further observation that we would make about Jones (and indeed about other “veil piercing” cases in which the word is used) is that we are not, with respect, clear as to what Russell J meant by his description of Alamed as a “sham”. If he was using that word as a synonym for tacaae or device, it adds nothing. But otherwise we do not understand how Alamed could accurately be described as a “sham”. It was a genuine company, genuinely incorporated, with a genuine separate legal personality of its own: see in this context, the observations in the judgment of this court in Neu- feld v Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform[2009] 3 All ER 790, at para 34
