Description
John Skierka (defendant John) and Bernice Skierka (defendant Bernice), husband and wife, and defendant Skierka Brothers, Inc. (corporation), a close-held family corporation, appeal from the judgment of the District Court of the Twelfth Judicial District, Liberty County, the Honorable B.W. Thomas, presiding. After - Page 507 trial without a jury, the District Court concluded that Jeanne Skierka (plaintiff Jeanne) and Annette Skierka (plaintiff Annette) had established their right to rescind their transfer of assets to the corporation, made in exchange for stock, on the basis of fraud and mutual mistake. The District Court also concluded that the plaintiffs had established their right to have the corporation liquidated under section 135-1-921(1)(a)(ii), MCA, because of oppressive acts by defendant John Skierka, who is in control of the corporation. The judgment orders the corporation to transfer back to the plaintiffs whatever property and assets they have transferred to the corporation in exchange for stock, together with additional property and assets representing one half (50%) of the fair market value of the other corporate assets on the date of transfer, or, in the alternative, to transfer to the plaintiffs other property and assets of equivalent value, as the parties may agree. If the parties fail to agree within a reasonable time as to the other assets to be transferred to the plaintiffs, then the judgment decrees that the court will dissolve the corporation in accordance with section 35-1-922, MCA.
