Commercial Fiduciary Obligation

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: The boundaries of fiduciary obligation continue to be the subject of much judicial discussion. One issue is whether, or to what extent, commercial relations should be regulated by fiduciary responsibility. The author examines the arguments and concludes that no justification exists for exempting commercial actors from fiduciary accountability.
