• “Although a corporate officer is not generally hable for breach of contract, his status does not shield him from liability for tortious acts from which the breach proximately resulted” (emphasis added)
• “Where as here, the judgment of the trial court is not accompanied by findings of fact, the presumption is that the trial court found all issues and controverted facts in favor of the prevailing party”
• “[Liability for conversion... does not require proof that the converter has thereby personally benefited, since the essence of conversion is not acquisition of property by the wrongdoer, but deprivation of the owner.”
