The appellants appealed a trial judgment finding them liable for breach of an oral agreement and breach of fiduciary duty regarding a commercial development project.
The trial judge found that the individual appellant sold the project without disclosing it to the investors, misappropriated the proceeds, and lied for years.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, upholding the trial judge's findings on the existence of the oral contract, credibility, piercing the corporate veil to find personal liability, and the award of punitive damages.
