Bergstein v. Tregub CA2/7
Plaintiffs David Bergstein (Bergstein), TFC Library, LLC (TFC), and Library Rights Company Ltd. (LRC) (collectively plaintiffs) brought this action for breach of fiduciary duty and legal malpractice against their former attorney, defendant Susan H. Tregub (Tregub). Following a jury trial and special verdict, judgment was entered in favor of plaintiffs in an amount in excess of $50 million.
On appeal, while acknowledging that she breached her fiduciary duty to plaintiffs, Tregub raises two main claims of error. First, she claims the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the action, in that the bankruptcy court had sole jurisdiction over the matters at issue. Second, she challenges the award of damages, both its components and its amount.
