          Abstract

          El presente artículo tiene por objeto analizar los fundamentos y acciones para aplicar el levantamiento del velo en Chile, tanto en materia civil como comercial, a la luz de algunos fallos dictados en los últimos años por los tribunales superiores de justicia chilenos. En la parte inicial se define el levantamiento del velo como un procedimiento judicial de carácter excepcional, en virtud del cual cabe prescindir en ciertos casos de la separación personal y patrimonial entre una sociedad de cuya estructura jurídica se ha abusado, por una parte, y uno o más de sus socios, administradores o sociedades relacionadas, por otra, para evitar así que un fraude o abuso produzca efectos. A continuación, se revisan los supuestos de hecho ante los cuales cabe aplicar el levantamiento del velo y se examinan las reglas de derecho común que permiten fundar dicha aplicación en Chile, como aquellas que prohíben el fraude a la ley, el fraude a los derechos de terceros, el abuso del derecho, la simulación ilícita, la causa ilícita y los actos de mala fe. Posteriormente, se analizan la acción y excepción de inoponibilidad por abuso de la personalidad jurídica como medios idóneos para obtener el levantamiento del velo en Chile. Para terminar, se proponen algunas conclusiones.

          Translated abstract

          The purpose of this article is to analyze the foundations and actions for applying the veil piercing in Chile, both in the civil and commercial fields, in the light of certain rulings issued by the Chilean high courts during the last years. In the initial part, the veil piercing is defined as a judicial proceeding of exceptional character, by virtue of which it is possible in some cases to disregard the personal and patrimonial separation between one company whose legal structure has been abused of, on the one hand, and one or more of its partners, administrators or related companies, on the other hand, to prevent a fraud or abuse from producing effects. Following, the factual circumstances under which it is possible to apply the veil piercing are reviewed, and the common rules of law that make it possible to found such application in Chile are examined, including those forbidding fraud against law, fraud against the rights of third parties, abuse of right, illicit simulation, illicit cause and the acts in bad faith. Afterwards, the action and defense of unenforceability against third parties due to abuse of the legal entity are analyzed as suitable means to obtain the veil piercing in Chile. Finally, some conclusions are proposed.
