What Constitutes A Breach Of Fiduciary Duty?
A breach of fiduciary duty occurs once the fiduciary fails to fulfill their obligations to act in the best interests of the client. This can include actions that benefit the fiduciary at the expense of the client, failure to disclose relevant information or the failure to diversify investments.
What Elements Are Needed To Prove Fiduciary Duty Was Breached?
Proving a breach of fiduciary duty typically requires demonstrating three key elements:
- Existence of fiduciary duty: Establishing that a fiduciary relationship existed between the parties involved.
- Breach of duty: Showing that the fiduciary breached their duty by acting contrary to the best interests of the client or failing to fulfill their obligations.
- Damages: Demonstrating that the breach of fiduciary duty resulted in measurable harm or damages to the client.
In cases where these elements are proven, the affected party may seek various forms of relief, including compensatory damages to cover financial losses incurred due to the breach.
