Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Christopher L. Bruns, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Mullins, J., and Potterfield, S.J. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, P.J. (13 pages)
We must decide whether a subrogation agreement was enforceable, whether a company and its principals waived certain defenses, and whether a director of the company breached a fiduciary duty. OPINION HOLDS: Because the subrogation agreement was valid under the basic tenets of subrogation law, the waivers were enforceable, and Adam Koppes made decisions in the appellants’ best interests, we affirm.
