Deputy v. Deputy

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Court of Chancery’s judgment holding Jay Christian Deputy liable for breaching fiduciary duties as trustee of two family trusts and imposing monetary relief, accounting obligations, and removal as trustee. The Court held that Deputy failed to show that the Chancery Court’s factual findings and credibility determinations were clearly erroneous, and it denied his motion to strike the appellee’s brief because a minor characterization discrepancy did not affect the merits.
