The plaintiffs, a wellness clinic and its co-founder, sued the defendant, the other co-founder and former director, for breach of fiduciary duty after he resigned and helped set up a competing clinic.
The court found that the defendant breached his fiduciary duties to the corporate plaintiff by taking company equipment and assisting a competitor while still owing duties to the company.
However, the court dismissed the claim that a fiduciary duty was owed to the individual plaintiff personally.
The court awarded the corporate plaintiff $12,600 in damages for the taken equipment and general restitution, but dismissed the claims for lost profits, loss of goodwill, and punitive damages due to lack of evidence.
