Syllabus

In a \books and records action\ under R.C. 1701.37, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in awarding attorney fees to the plaintiff, a 50% shareholder of a closely held corporation who was wrongfully denied records, where there was clear and convincing evidence that the corporation and its president/treasurer engaged in dilatory tactics and with an intent to mislead the shareholder. President/treasurer's conduct also subjected him to a forfeiture award under R.C. 1701.94 and precluded indemnification under the company's bylaws.
