If any intercorporate affiliation is devised for or is being used to
       accomplish an improper or unlawful purpose, certainly equity does have
       the authority to tear down technical legal barriers and reach beyond them
       to impose liability or grant proper relief. If the purpose is lawful, and fair
       and equitable to those with whom it is intended to deal, legal forms and
       relationships should be observed. Men have the right to use legal forms
       which they believe to be helpful in accomplishing proper purposes. The
       question should not be merely instrumentality, but instrumentality for
       what purpose. May Dep’t Stores, 107 S.W.2d at 55.
