What is the fiduciary duty of an individual who has a relationship with the other party?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Madhani v. Pirani, 1997 CanLII 2130 (BC SC):
Each fiduciary duty grows out of the factual circumstances of the particular relationship: Hodgkinson v. Simms (1994), 1994 CanLII 70 (SCC), 117 D.L.R. (4th) 161 (S.C.C.). The characterization of the relationship between the parties here depends on findings of credibility.
