(SL) The role of fiduciary obligations in commercial transactions 

 

The module by Michael Bryan, on behalf of the Leo Cussen Institute, will focus on recent decisions on fiduciary obligations and have little to say about the ‘golden oldie’ classic cases studied in law school and discussed in the literature. The emphasis on the new should not be taken to imply that any of the older decisions have been superseded. Any such implication would be misleading since there is nothing in the recent decisions which departs from established equitable principle. But recent cases supply the contemporary contexts for applying long-established equity.

 Aims and objectives 

This module aims to introduce:
  • The consequences of recognising a legal relationship as fiduciary
  • Remedies for breach of fiduciary obligations
  • Other advantages of the fiduciary claim
