The Final Judgment enters judgment against Defendants Jim Dial, 1st Texas Natural Gas Company, Inc., Universal Energy Resources, Inc., Grifco International, Inc., and Precision Drilling & Exploration, Inc., all of whom failed to file an answer or other responsive pleading to the litigation (the “Defaulting Defendants”).  The Final Judgment awards Plaintiffs damages against the Defaulting Defendants in the total amount of $17,183,987. The damages are comprised of compensatory damages in the amount of $5,611,225 against the Defaulting Defendants jointly and severally, prejudgment interest of $225,218 and attorney fees in the amount of $125,094. The Court also awarded punitive damages against each Defaulting Defendant in the amount of $2,244,490, for a total punitive damage award of $11,222,450.  The Final Judgment further imposes a constructive trust over all the funds and properties of the Defaulting Defendants owed to Plaintiffs.

 

The Court held that each of the Defaulting Defendants knowingly and intentionally perpetuated a fraud on the Plaintiffs.  Additionally, the Court held that each of the Defaulting Defendants breached their contract with the Plaintiffs, breached their fiduciary duty to the Plaintiffs, and committed acts in violation of the Texas Oil and Gas Proceeds Payment Act.
