The doctrine of corporate entity is one of substance and validity; it should
       be ignored with caution, and only when the circumstances clearly justify
       it. The theory of the alter ego has been adopted by the courts to prevent
       injustice, in those cases where the fiction of a corporate entity has been
       used as a subterfuge to defeat public convenience or to perpetrate a wrong;
       it should never be invoked to work an injustice, or to give an unfair
       advantage.
