TAT Capital Partners v. Feldman
In this appeal we address several procedural issues raised by defendants ZF Micro Solutions (Solutions); its principal, David Feldman; and a number of individual investors in Solutions. Appellants contend that the trial court deprived Solutions of a jury trial on every element of breach of contract in consolidated actions brought by plaintiffs TAT Capital Partners, Ltd. (TAT), Sands Brothers Venture Capital LLC, and SB New Paradigm Associates LLC. Appellants further argue that the court failed to find that TAT lacked standing to prosecute the action, essentially directed a verdict on the jury portion of the trial, and impermissibly severed Solutions' cross-complaint against TAT. As to the individual defendants, appellants contend that the court violated Civil Code section 3439.08, subdivision (b), by imposing more than $9 million in damages on them for being "fraudulent transferees" even though the amounts claimed by plaintiffs totaled only $6.7 million. Finally, appellants assert a deprivation of Feldman's due process rights arising from the court's exclusion of him from the courtroom and subsequently from the areas through which the jurors would pass. We find no error, however, and therefore must affirm the judgment.
