Understanding Breach of Fiduciary Duty

In Calexico, remedies can include damages, disgorgement of profits, injunctions, and equitable relief, depending on the relationship and the breach.

Definition and Explanation

A fiduciary is someone who holds a position of trust and must act in the best interests of another party, such as shareholders, clients, or beneficiaries by prioritizing their interests over personal gain.

Key Elements and Processes

Key elements include loyalty, avoidance of conflicts of interest, disclosure of material information, and proper handling of confidential information; the process typically involves investigation, pleadings, settlement discussions, and, if needed, trial.
