Description

The plaintiff, Samuel H. Dick, brought this action
against his son, the defendant, Jack R. Dick, seeking
to enforce an agreement (hereinafter referred to as the
agreement) entered into between them on August 6, 1960.
The plaintiff sought as relief an order directing the
defendant to account for his financial gains during the
period extending from August 6, 1960, to the time of the
action; an order directing the defendant specifically to
perform his part of the contract; damages of $20,000,000;
an order declaring the defendant to be a constructive
trustee for the plaintiff; an order directing the defendant
to convey to the plaintiff one-half of his financial gains
for a period subsequent to the action; and costs and such
other relief as might be equitable or lawful. The defendant
counter-claimed. The court ordered a bifurcated trial in
which the issue as to the authenticity of the
[167 Conn. 212]
defendant's signature to the agreement was tried
to a jury, the jury finding the issue in favor of
the plaintiff. The court ruled that since the
remaining issues to be litigated were equitable in
nature, the court would hear them without a jury.
The court found the issues for the defendant on
the complaint and for the plaintiff on the
counterclaim, and the plaintiff has appealed from
the judgment so rendered.
