Jones v. H.F. Ahmanson & Co. involved a breach of fiduciary duty by the majority shareholders towards the minority shareholders. The court found that the defendants, who were majority shareholders, had breached their fiduciary duty to the plaintiffs, who were minority shareholders, by not allowing them to exchange their shares.
