Corporate : Wind Up – Conversion – Attorney’s Fees
Stephanie Maniscalco//June 21, 2017
Where in a dispute between the owners of a billboard business the evidence showed that the appellant deposited checks from the settlement of a malpractice suit into his personal account rather than the business account, sufficient evidence supported the jury verdict for the respondent on a derivative conversion claim, and the appellant waived his complaint about inconsistent verdicts by failing to object before the jury was discharged, so the judgment is affirmed because there was no error in the damages instruction and the court did not abuse its discretion in awarding attorney’s fees.
Judgment is affirmed.
Massood v. Fedynich (MLW No. 70659/Case No. WD80048 – 24 pages) (Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, Martin, J.) Appealed from circuit court, Jackson County, Powell, J. (Greg Gerstner and Paul G. Schepers, Kansas City, Missouri, for appellants) (William J. Foland and Luke R. Hertenstein, Kansas City, Missouri, for respondent).
