Heading: Imposition of a Constructive Trust

Text: Bressner also argues that the district court erred when it denied his request that a constructive trust be imposed on Shirlee and Amzo’s assets. Illinois limits the imposition of a constructive trust to situations where there have been “specific [acts] of wrongdoing . . . such as fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, duress, coercion or mistake.” Suttles v. Vogel, 533 N.E.2d 901, 905 (Ill. 1998). Bressner bases his request for a constructive trust on the allegations of bank fraud discussed above. Because, however, we have found those allegations deficient, we agree with the district court that there is no basis upon which to support a constructive trust. 10 No. 03-2768
