Joung v. Shin
Plaintiff (hereafter, appellant) filed suit against An Sik Shin and his real estate corporation, Kor-Am Property and Investments, Inc. (together, respondent), contending that respondent breached fiduciary duties and duties of fair dealing towards her when he acted as her real estate broker and investment advisor in the course of several real estate transactions. A bench trial was held spanning eight days, during which the trial court carefully considered the testimonies of the principal parties in this case. The court then issued a detailed statement of decision resolving all credibility issues against appellant and finding that appellant had failed to carry her evidentiary burden of showing the existence of a duty of care or a fiduciary duty, or any breach of those duties.
On appeal from the judgment, appellant contends that the trial court's findings were in error because the existence of a duty was established as a matter of law, and because evidence supported findings that duties were breached in the various transactions. After reviewing the record in this case, court conclude that it supports the judgment, and court therefore affirm.
