Corporate groups are collections of independent mother and subsidiary companies that their performances as a single economic unit are controlled by a common source. One the one side, these companies in front of individuals economically appear as a single economic unit, for the fact that group members (subsidiary companies) work under the control and guidance of mother company in order to achieve collective goals and interests, and at the same time legally, each of these subsidiary companies has independent legal personality and its own rights and obligations.German law as the leading system in the field of corporate groups law, while accepting independent legal personality principle and limited liability rule, due to the governance and control that mother company has over the subsidiary with inadequate capital (inadequacy of capital) and disproportionate to company’s economic goals, knows mother company liable for payment of the debts and fulfillment of the obligations of subsidiary company to the third parties.

parent company often set up subsidiaries because of the variety of investments, the use of skilled and efficient managers, and the cost savings. In the corporate business group, the parent company may, by resorting to the principle of " Independence of the legal personality of the company ", escape from liability by exploiting the coverage of the legal personality of the subsidiary for its fraudulent purposes. Therefore, it is important to explain the responsibility of the parent company as an exception to the principle of the independence of the legal personality and to identify possible ways of abusing it. The mother company can exploit the subsidiary's legal personality coverage for such purposes as escape from religion, tax evasion, and unfair trading practices such as monopoly competition. Based on this assumption and in the vacuum of special regulations, based on the activity and potential misuse of the group of companies in Iranian law, one can, according to the existing jurisprudential and legal rules, including the rule of " qui sentit commomum sentire debet et onus; he who gains the advantages also must suffer the burden" The, " deceive”, “liability for ownership or control”, "vicarious liability" and " causing " were responsible for the parent's liability for damages to third parties. In order to prevent potential abusive uses, it is imperative to develop mandatory screening laws, reform of the laws and the tax system, and the establishment of regulatory mechanisms in the corporate group.

If two corporations are related and affiliated through management and economic circles, one is called the parent and the other is the subsidiary. This affiliation will, in most cases, result in the complete domination and control of the parent over the subsidiary and thus abuse its template. Now, given the acceptance of the principle of limited liability in corporate law, can the legal practices and actions created be attributed to the parent company as the controller of the legal relationship (between the subsidiary and third parties)? The US legal system, by resorting to the Alter Ego rule, has prevented such an abuse. The Alter Ego refers to the conditions that the courts exercise on the basis of Justice and Equity and thereby treat the parent company as the proprietor of the company or the real party to the benefit against good faith third parties. The basic conditions for applying this rule can be effective real ownership and control of the Alter Ego (the parent company) over the actions of the subsidiary, unity of interest and ownership between the two companies and unjustified actions of parent company. In the Iranian legal system, there is no explicit regulation in Trade Code in this regard. There is no specific solution in the case law as well. But it seems that by taking advantage of capacities of Imamiyah jurisprudence and domestic law such as The Swindle Rule, theRule of No Damage, the Theory of Agency, the Theory of Relative Independence of the Legal Personalityand other principles, this rule can be applied.
