ABSTRACT

This short essay aims to pull together some of the threads relating to fiduciary responsibility so as to put the subject into a little more focus. What is perhaps most worthy of mention at the outset is the fact that more and more classes of claimant are seeking to argue that they are the beneficiaries of fiduciary relationships. The reason for this mooted expansion of the category is that the remedies available to the beneficiaries of fiduciary relationships are more wide-ranging than the remedies generally available for tort law or contract law claims, in the ways considered in this essay.
