Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
Decided October 11, 1984No. 84-1359PublishedCited by 23 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
COFFIN, Circuit Judge.
Appellant Martin appeals from a judgment of the district court affirming the imposition of a constructive trust on property he owned in Hudson, New Hampshire. The district court concluded that appellant, as sole owner, president and director of the debtor corporation, breached his fiduciary duty to the corporation when he utilized corporate funds to purchase the New Hampshire property for himself rather than on behalf of the debtor. We disagree, concluding that a perfectly valid legal principle lacks the necessary predicate for its proper application in this case.
