I. INTRODUCTION
The elected unit-owner trustees of a residential condominium have brought suit against the former trustees appointed by the developer. The plaintiffs primarily allege breaches of fiduciary duly by the former trustees. Applying the business judgment rule, only the most egregious of these breach of fiduciary duty claims can survive summary judgment. The summary judgment principles to be applied are stated in Kourouvacilis v. General Motors Corp., 410 Mass. 706 (1991).1
