- holding that structure of partnership agreement giving Frain “ultimate power over both his own employment and the direction of the corporation” placed him in position of “ascendancy” over other shareholders
- “natural advantage” derived from control of day-to-day business decisions of the corporation “not sufficient in itself to establish a position of ascendancy”
- “A difference in knowledge or power can create a fiduciary relationship.”
