FRAUDULENT TRANSFER 

CASE DESCRIPTION:
John represented an entity in a fraudulent transfer action against several individuals who claimed to be bankrupt.

OUTCOME:
The court granted a summary judgment motion that John brought on the issues of liability and compensatory damages and ordered a bench trial on the issue of punitive damages based on the defendants' fraudulent conduct. Despite the defendants' claims that they had a negative net worth, the court awarded John's client over $100,000 in punitive damages against the defendants, and the exact amount John had requested that the court issue as an award.
