https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=96676 A fraud-based pecuniary claim was held to survive against a deceased wrongdoer's estate because the statutory exception to actio personalis moritur cum persona was confined to personal injuries, not property loss. The suit was also treated as in time, since limitation ran from discovery of the fraud, and earlier company liquidation proceedings did not extinguish the independent tort claim. Liability arose only from the agent's false receipts used to conceal the embezzlement, so recoverable damages were limited to the loss proximately caused by that concealment. The amount recoverable required further inquiry, and the matter was remitted for quantification. en-us Thu, 09 May 1935 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 12:37:06 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=96676 A fraud-based pecuniary claim was held to survive against a deceased wrongdoer's estate because the statutory exception to actio personalis moritur cum persona was confined to personal injuries, not property loss.
