A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act in the best interests of another person or entity. Breach occurs when the fiduciary acts contrary to those interests.
Proving a breach requires showing a duty existed, the duty was breached, and damages resulted, often through documents, communications, and expert input.
Remedies may include damages, injunctions, disgorgement of profits, and equitable relief, depending on the case and court.
California statutes provide time limits; consult a lawyer to determine applicable deadlines based on your facts.
Sometimes, cases settle before trial. Settlement terms vary and may include confidentiality and compensation for losses.
