Jara

Miguel Jara, Sr. (hereafter Jara, Sr., or plaintiff), a minority shareholder of Suprema Meats, Inc., a California corporation (hereafter Suprema), brought suit against the corporation and its two other shareholders, his son, Miguel Jara, Jr. (hereafter Jara, Jr.) and Gonzalo Rodriguez (hereafter Rodriguez). The judgment awarded Suprema damages to be paid by Jara, Jr., and Rodriguez but also ordered Suprema to comply with the disclosure requirements of Corporations Code section 1601 and to pay Jara, Sr., reasonable attorney fees in enforcing his rights of disclosure. Suprema, Jara, Jr., and Rodriguez appeal from the judgment.

The appeal is consolidated with separate appeals from an order awarding attorney fees under Corporations Code section 1604 and an order enforcing judgment. We reverse the judgment and postjudgment orders.
