Question juridique clé
Whether the luxury-vehicle leasing constituted qualified breach of trust
Solution extraite
Yes. Leasing four luxury cars simultaneously for a financially strained company, mainly for the defendant's private use, exceeded managerial discretion and showed intent to enrich himself.
Motifs extraits
The company was in a difficult financial situation; the vehicles were used only by the defendant; the expense was not business-justified; the defendant knew a single luxury vehicle would have sufficed.
