Gibbar v. Gibbar
Gibbar v. Gibbar
Opinion of the Court
Plaintiffs are beneficiaries of a trust. In a two-count petition, plaintiffs sued two trustees, seeking damages from one trustee and removal of the other. In their damage count, plaintiffs alleged the defendant-trustee breached his fiduciary duty by placing money in a bank account at 5% interest instead of paying off trust indebtedness carrying 8% interest. In their other count, plaintiffs alleged the defendant-trustee breached his duty by self-dealing. The case was tried to the court without a jury and judgment was entered in favor of defendants. On appeal, plaintiffs assert the trial court erred in failing to find any breach of duty by either trustee. They also contend the trial court erred in permitting one of the defendant trustees to testify even though he had not appeared for his deposition.
