Book Review: A Romantic Conception of Fiduciary Obligation

Robert Flannigan
University of Saskatchewan



Canadian Bar Review, Vol. 84, pp. 391-408, 2005

Abstract:     
In his recent monograph, Professor Leonard Rotman offers a novel vision of fiduciary accountability. He follows a collection of commentators who have romantic notions of the potential of fiduciary regulation to control power or correct injustice. Ultimately his conceptual objectives are not realized. He does not credibly justify his proposed expansion of the jurisdiction beyond the conventional function of regulating opportunism in limited access arrangements.

Keywords: Fiduciary, fiduciary obligation, duty of loyalty
