Dweck v. Nasser
Citation:
2012 WL 161590 (2012)Facts
Dweck, Nasser, and Dabah established Kids International Corporation. Under the original agreement, Nasser would provide 100% of start-up capital. After his capital was repaid, Nasser would transfer half the equity to Dweck and Haim, with Nasser continuing to serve on the corporation’s board of directors. Dweck and Haim would serve as managers of the corporation‘s regular business activities.
Dweck formed two competing ventures – Success and Premium- thirteen years after the formation of Kids. This lead to a nasty split between the business partners: Nasser and Dweck. Dweck used Kids’ resources in establishing the brands of his new, competing companies. Dweck accused Nasser of breaches of fiduciary duties, and vice versa. Nasser also brought third-party claims against Taxin and Fine.
