Subsections (a)(1), (a)(2), (b)(4), (b)(5), and (d) of ET § 17-113, all illustrate that an agent’s primary obligation to a principal under a power of attorney is to act in the best interest of the principal, i.e., Daniel Katz. Id. Were this a motion for summary judgment Martin would easily show that he has acted constant with his obligations under ET § 17-113, but such is not the question here. Rather, the material question in this matter is whether plaintiffs have pleaded facts sufficient to show that Martin has acted inconsistent with his duties under ET § 17-113.
In paragraphs 35, 36, 37, and 42, plaintiffs provide an exhaustive list of demands that Lauren and Rifkin feel are owed to them from Daniel’s assets. These self-serving—and frankly, quite concerning—assertions fundamentally misapprehend the nature of the fiduciary relationship at issue here. In this matter, Martin owes no duties to Lauren or Rifkin. Rather, pursuant to the power of attorney, Martin only owes fiduciary obligations to Daniel to provide for his best interest, as Daniel—and no one else—is the principal. Indeed, plaintiffs’ complaint is full of allegations

of Teamsters v. Willis Corroon Corp., 369 Md. 724, 727 n.1 (2002); Kann v. Kann, 344 Md. 689, 693 (1997) (“[A]llegations of breach of fiduciary duty, in and of themselves, do not give rise to an omnibus or generic cause of action at law that is assertable against all fiduciaries.”). Fiduciary obligations may surely arise by means of contract, the imposition of a duty in tort, or some other sort of relationship, and when they do, “[c]ounsel are required to identify the particular fiduciary relationship involved, identify how it was breached, consider the remedies available, and select those remedies appropriate to the client's problem.” Kann, 344 Md. at

Attorney General of the United States brought suit against McClung for discrimination. Ollie’s Barbecue was a family-owned restaurant in Birmingham, Alabama that made barbecued meats with a seating of 220 customers. It was located on a state highway 11 blocks from the interstate. Their food is bought from a local supplier that outside of the state. The restaurant refused to serves black Americans. They served white Americans and only delivered to black Americans. It would also make it hard for the black Americans that were traveling state to state. They have been operating in violation of the Act. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits restaurants and others public could not discriminate customers based on race.
2. Facts: Plaintiff Irene George (P) is filing suit against Defendant Jordan Marsh Co. (D) for mental anguish and emotional distress which resulted in two heart attacks. D sold goods on credit to P’s emancipated son, who purchased them on P’s account. D alleged that P stated in writing that she would pay the debts (which she did not incur), even though it is understood that P did not make this guarantee. D then attempted to intimidate P into paying these debts she did not owe by calling her at late hours, by mailing her bills, by sending her letters stating late charges were being added on and that her credit had been revoked, and by numerous other tactics. P suffered great
Pre-offense information related to this case includes the relationship the victims had with the offender. If the offender was Brent Smith as is believed then Tracy Smith’s relationship to the offender is that she was Brent Smith’s soon to be ex-wife and the mother of his two children Reagan and Eion. Keeping with the suspected offender Brent Smith, Karen Green’s relationship with the offender was through Tracy’s relationship with him as Karen was Tracy’s former mother-in-law. Karen Green also cared for Tracy and Brent’s children while Tracy was at work as they were living with Karen during the time of the offense. Victim selection occurred based on the interactions the victims had with the offender.
In Concord, New Hampshire May 5th, 2001 was an uneventful day. It was a sunny, dry, and warm day, not unusual for the spring season in New England. That Cinco de Mayo, Bob Senko, who was still exhausted from the night before, had to drive his pregnant wife Christine to the hospital. Once they arrived and Chris was in the delivery room, Adam’s father decided that a Penguins hockey game would be more entertaining to watch than his own son’s birth. As Bob sat watching Pittsburgh lose in overtime to the Buffalo Sabres, a boy was born at 4:48 in the afternoon. He weighed seven pounds and nine ounces and measured 20 and three-quarters inches tall (Senko Interview). Although Adam’s birth was largely insignificant, there was some actual news in crime,
David Shestokas states, "Police arriving at the scene of an alleged domestic battery cannot know how volatile the situation is at that moment, or was prior to their arrival. The officers have standard procedures to follow: separating the parties, conducting interviews, observing the scene, checking for injuries, providing information specific to domestic violence and more. However, nearly always someone will be arrested" (Shestokas, 2012.)
Throughout the case, it can be analyzed and expected to say that Deloitte & Touche have committed a breach to its fiduciary duty to Vertical Pharmaceutical at the end. Vertical Pharmaceuticals Inc., realized a huge loss as a result by Deloitte & Touche. Therefore, this shows that Deloitte & Touche did indeed breach their fiduciary duties. All the falsified reports and malpractices that were said to be revealed by Deloitte & Touche would be said to not be real by the forensic audit that was conducted. At the end, the court can rule that Deloitte & Touche did indeed breach their fiduciary duty to Vertical Pharmaceuticals.

A more rigorous screening process when appointing an individual to act as a Power of Attorney for Property may also help reduce financial abuse amongst incapacitated seniors. Personal appointments, such as Power of Attorneys, rely solely on the grantor to screen potential Attorneys to ensure that they are capable of undertaking the duties, and are willing and suitable to do so. Ontario’s current legislation regarding POAs aims to make appointment widely accessible, so there are relatively few practical or procedural barriers to their creation, as compared with other jurisdictions. The resultant risk is that those creating POAs may not fully understand the potential implications of doing so, and may put themselves at risk of abuse, neglect or exploitation by their attorneys. Practically speaking, a more rigorous screening process for potential Attorneys would likely increase the amount of responsibility on the solicitor drafting the POA to vet the potential Attorney or Attorneys. Furthermore, even the most carefully screened and selected Attorney abuse his power. Thus, while a more rigorous screening process is important, it itself will not effectively prevent financial abuse by Attorneys.

The famous US decision of Riggs v Palmer serves to illustrate a considerable strength in Dworkin’s argument concerning rules and principles. The New York court had to decide a case to determine whether a grandson who poisoned his grandfather to obtain his inheritance was in fact able to collect such an inheritance. At the time, there existed no statute or law that invalidated his claim as a beneficiary due to his involvement in the murder. Furthermore, the applicable legal rule seemed to be that legacies contained in legally valid testamentary dispositions are to be guaranteed by law in accordance with the wishes of the testator. According to Hart, the court should, in this situation, be decided upon pre-existing law. Yet despite this, the court majority found that the grandson could not inherit, instead appealing to moral reasoning by citing the principle that no one should be able to profit from ones crimes. A similar decision based on principle was handed down 70 years later in the case of Henningsen v Bloomfield Motors Inc. As a result of these cases, Dworkin is able
