Facts
A creditor of a company (subsidiary) (plaintiff) sought to have the subsidiary’s parent corporation (parent corporation) (defendant) pay the unpaid contractual debt of the subsidiary. The parent corporation had provided funds to the subsidiary and directed the subsidiary to pay certain debts but not the creditor’s contractual claim. The creditor claimed that the parent corporation had a duty to protect all creditors as a matter of good faith and fairness when the parent corporation undertook to provide funds to the subsidiary to pay some but not all of the subsidiary’s debts.
