A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act in another party’s best interests with care and loyalty.
A breach happens when a fiduciary prioritizes personal interests over those they owe a duty to, causing harm or losses.
Fiduciary duties arise in relationships such as directors and shareholders, trustees and beneficiaries, or agents and principals. When trust is breached, remedies may include damages, injunctions, or restitution.
Key elements include duty, breach, causation, and damages. The process typically involves investigation, gathering evidence, and pursuing appropriate remedies through negotiation or litigation.
