Lortie v. Fortin

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Nov 3, 1982
421 So. 2d 193 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1982)

Opinion

No. 82-720.

November 3, 1982.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Broward County; Robert Lance Andrews, Judge.

John J. Murphy of Pallotto, Weir Hayson, Hollywood, for appellants.

Daniel B. Bass, Fort Lauderdale, for appellees.


The final judgment appealed from here resulted after a directed verdict based upon the trial court's determination that appellants appropriate remedy was by way of a stockholder's derivative action rather than through an action brought by appellants in their capacities as trustees of a dissolved corporation. We agree. See, e.g., Carothers v. Patton, 288 So.2d 293 (Fla.3d DCA 1973). We therefore affirm.

AFFIRMED.

ANSTEAD, HERSEY and WALDEN, JJ., concur.
