How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • “Normal trust between friends or businesses, plus a slightly dominant business position, do not operate to turn a formal, contractual relationship into a confidential or fiduciary relationship.”
  • Subcontractors who executed lien waivers were not entitled to constructive trust because “mere allegations that one businessman simply trusted another to fulfill his contractual obligations is certainly not enough.”
