SHAW, Justice.
This cause is before the Court on petition for review because of express and direct conflict between the decision of the district court of appeal below, Sisk v. General Builders Corporation of Fort Lauderdale, Inc., 438 So. 2d 65 (Fla. 4th DCA 1983), and numerous decisions of this Court and of other district courts. We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. The facts are as contained in the decision below. The decision of the district court below was predicated on the proposition that a corporation could lose its separate corporate identity under the mere instrumentality doctrine without any allegation or showing of wrongdoing. The district court cited as authority Dania Jai-Alai Palace, Inc. v. Sykes, 425 So. 2d 594 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982), which has since been quashed in pertinent part. Dania Jai-Alai Palace, Inc. v. Sykes, 450 So. 2d 1114 (Fla.1984). We quash the decision below and remand for proceedings consistent with our opinion in Dania Jai-Alai.
It is so ordered.
BOYD, C.J., and ADKINS, OVERTON, ALDERMAN, McDONALD and EHRLICH, JJ., concur.

State v. Sydney Rochelle, 609 So. 2d 613 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992)…esults from the breath-testing instruments so tested? Yes. III. Should revised rules 10D-42.023 and 10D-42.024, effective August 1, 1991, be applied retroactively? No. We agree with the county court’s conclusion on Issue III, cf. Drury v. Harding, 461 So. 2d 104 (Fla.1984), but disagree on all others. The conclusion regarding Issue III has no impact on admissibility of the test results in the instant case, however, when the county court’s conclusions on the other issues are determined to be incorrect.
