Next on the list of To Do is to turn the list of relationships that usually carry a duty into a definition list... explain why the duty is presumed, the historical origin of the presumption, etc. etc.

I have done away with the old text and introduced a new version of the article which is more comprehensive and accurate. I have stuck to the basic principles of fiduciary duties, this is because the law w/regard to equity - and fiduciary principles, especially - can differ greatly between Canada, UK, US, and Australia.

Please note that I have not yet inserted footnotes or general links --[[User:Charlemagne the Hammer|Charlemagne the Hammer]] 03:22, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I like the overhaul generally, but I think it was a bit much to make it essentially an article about UK law. The Salmon v. Meinhard quote is probably the most-used definition in the US, and I think it would be appropriate to include it. What I would prefer to see is a "General/Historical" section, and then sections on law in various jurisdictions. [[User:Cprovenzano|cpro]] 17:59, 23 February 2006 (UTC)


cpro - like i said, i tried to only do the basics so that its accurate for all jursidictions... im not in america, so if you have some information for the USA jurisdiction that you would like to see in there then thats cool. by the salmon v meinhard, are you referring to "a level higher than that trodden by the crowd"?? i already have that quote in there... not sure what you mean there. General historical section is a very good idea. w/regard to jurisdictions, perhaps we can arrange the article so that the majority of the article describes common features to all jurisdictions... then note major jurisdictional differences at the end? cheers for the feed back --[[User:Charlemagne the Hammer|Charlemagne the Hammer]] 06:48, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

== Vanity? ==
Who are Melanie Jizzle and Philip Fizzler? That MUST be a prank. I'm going to remove them.

*I think the page may have been written by law students. It is common for lawyers to use fictious names to describe how a law operates. It appears as though the names are not vanity but force of habit. I would perhaps reword to use fiducary and person, etc.

*I think that "force of habit" is being excessively charitable. Fictitious names are usually sensical. "Paul" is the Plaintiff, "Daniel" is the Defendant; "Tim" is the Testator, "Gene" is the Grantee; Vic usually winds up being the victim of something in Bar Exam problems, and Axel likely faces criminal liability as an accessory. See the article on computer programming names, where such names are identified as "essentially metasyntactical variables." But a full first and last name? There's no explanation. I vote for removal, replacing with, as suggested, "fiduciary" and "beneficiary."--[[User:64.80.112.170|64.80.112.170]] 14:15, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

*I didn't make it beyond the opening sentence: "Fiduciary in common law jurisdictions, is a legal term used to describe a relationship of between [sic] a person who occupies a particular position of trust, power or responsibility with respect to the rights, property or interests..." Is readability such a terrible thing?[[User:195.47.86.1|195.47.86.1]] 05:42, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I cleaned up the intro somewhat. I think you should give the article another chance! [[User:204.177.90.3|204.177.90.3]] 15:35, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
