Case Details
In a highly complex, cross-border dispute between multiple US scrap industry companies, a unanimous jury found: breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, breach of contract, and exemplary damages against each of three corporate and four individual defendants, despite an aggressive defense seeking dismissal and application of Mexican law, filing a competing complaint in Delaware, and a mandamus proceeding in the Supreme Court of Texas. The joint venture was located in Mexico, as was the physical evidence and many of the witnesses.
