Description
Casimiro Cantu sued Happy Years, Inc. (an adult day-care business), Ruben Rivas, Josie Alvear, and Juan Guerra (shareholders of the corporation), and First State Bank of Mission (Rivass employer), alleging causes of action, inter alia, for breach of contract and fraud. Guerra was non-suited after he filed for bankruptcy, First State Bank was dismissed from the suit before trial, and Alvear was dismissed from the suit before the charge was submitted to the jury. Only the causes of action against Happy Years and Rivas were submitted to the jury. The jury found that: (a) Happy Years had breached its contract with Cantu, (b) Cantu was entitled to Happy Years stock, and (c) Cantu had suffered damages for constructive dividends paid by the corporation to other shareholders. The jury also found that Rivas had committed fraud against Cantu and found actual and exemplary damages resulting from the fraud.
