Heading: Waller's 1990 Offer as Basis of Valuation

Text: Defendants next argue that the court erred in its valuation of Waller's shares by failing to consider his 1990 offer to sell his stock for payment in full of the $14,500 loans he had taken on behalf of the corporation. Defendants do not maintain that the 1990 offer was controlling as a matter of law. Their argument is simply that the court ignored their evidence in favor of Waller's evidence. It is well settled that the weight to be given to particular evidence is a matter within the sound discretion of the trial court. In re Vermont National Bank, 157 Vt. 306, 310, 597 A.2d 317, 319 (1991).
