Description

Formerly the plaintiff and the appellant were each the owners of 50 percent of the shares of stock of the respondent, a corporation.
Prior actions between the parties were settled by stipulation made in open court. Thereafter the parties performed under
the terms of the stipulation. Accordingly plaintiff paid a sum of money to appellant and acquired the shares of stock theretofore
owned by appellant. As part of the performance of the terms of the stipulation the parties entered into a second stipulated
agreement, whereunder any and all rights were reserved to plaintiff and the corporation in respect of certain specific payments
which had been made with the corporation's funds during a period when appellant had been in charge of the corporation and
its books. The present action is at law to recover the aforesaid payments made with the corporation's funds. The complaint
charges (1) fraud in inducing the first stipulation, and (2) waste of corporate funds. After trial by the court without a
jury, it was held that it is not necessary to determine the fraud issue, and judgment was entered in favor of the corporation
for a sum of money representing the amounts found to have been improper expenditures of corporate funds. The appeal is from
so much of the judgment as awarded the corporation $4,147, with interest and costs. Appellant contends that, under the reservation
of rights in the second stipulation, plaintiff and respondent were limited to attacking the first stipulation as having been
fraudulently induced, that the trial was conducted on the understanding that fraud was the issue, and that the decision of
the Trial Justice amounts to depriving appellant of his day in court inasmuch as the case was decided on a different theory
than had been litigated. Judgment insofar as appealed from unanimously affirmed, with costs. No opinion. Present - Wenzel,
Beldock, Ughetta and Hallinan, JJ.; Nolan, P.J., not voting.
