Disputes Over Personal Use of Corporate Assets

In corporate litigation, the available rights and remedies turn on provable facts and the governing corporate documents. Personal use of company vehicles, property, accounts or other assets requires review of any authorization, business purpose and consideration.

What to keep in mind

Analyze expense records, title, insurance, agreements and conflicts of interest before considering repayment, damages or preventive remedies.

A missing personal invoice does not alone establish unlawfulness; the benefit and justification still matter.

Distinctions often confused

Authorized business use is distinct from improper appropriation of corporate resources.

Frequently asked questions

May a director drive a vehicle owned by the company?
That depends on company policy, commercial justification, approvals and conditions.
Can the company recover an improper personal benefit?
Potentially, on appropriate legal grounds and evidence of loss or unjust benefit.
