| 单词 | Fiduciary duty |
| 释义 | 受信責任 An equitable duty to act in good faith for the benefit of another. A fiduciary duty arises in the context of a fiduciary relationship, such as that between trustee and beneficiary. There are certain well-recognised categories of relationship: for example, trustee and beneficiary; agent and principal; directors of a company and the company; vendor and auctioneer; solicitor and client. Persons subject to a fiduciary duty are not permitted to profit from their positions (other than where expressly permitted) or to put themselves in a position where the fiduciary duty and personal interest may conflict: Richard Ellis Ltd v Van HongTuon [1988] 1 HKLR 169(CA); Chiu Che Kuen v Or Yue Ling (HCA 5543/90, unreported); Chinese United Establishments Ltd v Cheung Siu Ki & Anor [1997] 2 HKC 212 (HC); Crosskill v Bower (1863) 32 Beav 86. See also Beneficiary; Directors’ duties; Equity; Good Faith; Trustee. 真誠行事以令他人受惠的衡平法責任。受信關係產生受信責任（例如受託人與受益人之間的關係）。有若干已明確確認的受信關係類別，例如受託人與受益人、代理人與主事人（委託人）、公司董事與公司、賣方與拍賣人、律師與當事人。負有受信責任的人不得從其身分獲利（但如明文准許者，則屬例外），亦不得使他們置於可令其受信責任與個人權益有衝突的處境：Richard Ellis Ltd v Van HongTuon [1988] 1 HKLR 169（上訴法庭）；Chiu Che Kuen v Or Yue Ling（高院民事訴訟1990年第5543號，未經彙報）；Chinese United Establishments Ltd v Cheung Siu Ki & Anor [1997] 2 HKC 212 （高等法院）；Crosskill v Bower (1863) 32 Beav 86。另見 Beneficiary; Directors’ duties; Equity; Good Faith; Trustee。 |
