In reasons for judgment released June 30, 2020, Madam Justice Sharma found that the defendant trustees had acted dishonestly, not in good faith and in blatant breach of their fiduciary duties, and she found that a defendant beneficiary had knowingly assisted the trustees in their breach of fiduciary duty. Madam Justice Sharma ordered disgorgement. A hearing on the scope of disgorgement and special costs was set for August 2020. The defendants have appealed the judgment.
