Pye v. Robinson
In this action arising out of the sale of the assets of a corporation, minority shareholder Brian Pye asserted he was entitled to his one-third interest in the corporation, which majority shareholder Daniel O. Robinson had deposited into the trust account of attorney Eduardo Rivera. He further alleged Robinson used his corporation, Robinson Ford Sales Inc. (Robinson Ford), to convert his share of the proceeds. Pye also asserted that Rivera breached his fiduciary duty in assisting Robinson in the conversion. Following a court trial, Pye prevailed on his claims, and the court entered judgment in his favor in the amount of $16,437.70. However, Pye did not request, and the court did not order, that prejudgment interest be included in the judgment as a part of Pye's damages.
Court deny Robinson's motion to dismiss the appeal. Court also conclude the court did not err in refusing to award prejudgment interest, and therefore affirm the judgment.
