A breach occurs when a fiduciary violates loyalty, care, or honesty requirements, harming the principal. Key signs include self-dealing, misappropriation of assets, or disclosure of confidential information. In California, remedies vary based on the facts and may include damages, restitution, and injunctions.
California statutes generally provide a window to file, but deadlines vary by case type and relationship. An early evaluation helps identify deadlines and plan a timely course of action.
Damages can include compensatory losses, lost profits, and, in some cases, exemplary or punitive measures. Restitution may be available to restore property or funds improperly taken.
