hDOWNING, J.,

dissents and assigns reasons.

A travesty of law and justice, the majority opinion absolves a corporate liquidator of his high fiduciary duty to a corporate creditor and converts an unlawful distribution into a lawful one by simple transfer of assets from a subsidiary corporation to a parent corporation. As a result, Eagle Pacific Insurance Company (Eagle) is pre-eluded from collecting a lawfully owed contractual obligation and William and Pamela Kelley received a windfall in the amount of $139,433.00 to which they are not entitled. Accordingly, I dissent.
