As I have previously discussed, a family feud over inheritance between the Griffin Industry heirs has four sisters pitted against three brothers. The sisters brought suit accusing their brothers of misappropriating their inheritance by transferring property the sisters were owed to the family company controlled by the brothers. Last week, a Federal district judge denied the brother’s request that the September summary judgment ruling that found they breached their fiduciary duty to their sisters be reconsidered. A trial date has been set for May 5, 2015 and is scheduled to last four weeks. The brothers will present their affirmative defenses at the May trial.
