Doherty v Bruce Ronald Sampey as administrator of the estate of Patricia Adele Addison (Aka Sampey)

This case involved a dispute between several parties, including Phillip Carl Doherty, Gregory John Norris, Bruce Ronald Sampey, and various entities they were associated with. The plaintiffs claimed compensation for losses they incurred due to alleged breaches of duty and unconscionable conduct by Sampey and other defendants. The court examined the legal issues, including whether a partnership existed, whether fiduciary duties were breached, and if there was unconscionable conduct. The court found that a partnership did exist, fiduciary duties were breached, and unconscionable conduct occurred. The plaintiffs' claim was partially upheld, and the defendants' counterclaim was dismissed. The court ordered the winding up of the partnership, compensation for the plaintiffs, and voided certain leases due to unconscionable conduct. The case also addressed the issue of costs, with the court ordering the defendants to pay a majority of the plaintiffs' costs, while the plaintiffs were ordered to pay costs related to specific claims. The court also made orders for transcript certificates, allowances for certain costs, and special costs orders for the defendants in specific areas.
