The following excerpt is from Pacific Airmotive Corp. v. First Interstate Bank, 178 Cal.App.3d 1130, 224 Cal.Rptr. 233 (Cal. App. 1986):
Actions for breach of contract have historically been a proper action in a state forum. (Harper v. National Flood Insurers Ass'n (M.D.Pa.1980) 494 F.Supp. 234, 239.) An action for breach of fiduciary duty is, in essence, an action for breach of contract.
