McElhanon v. Hing

GRANT, Judge.

This appeal raises the question of whether there is a cause of action against an attorney who, while acting in his capacity as an attorney, engages in a conspiracy to defraud a judgment creditor of his client. A cross-appeal raises the issue of whether a judgment creditor may recover damages in excess of his judgment plus incidental costs as a result of an alleged conspiracy to hinder him from collecting his judgment. Several sub-issues are raised in relation to the main issue on appeal.
