1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,646
An agent serving a principal occupies a position of trust.

2
00:00:03,924 --> 00:00:08,022
A fiduciary must act for another's benefit within that relationship.

3
00:00:08,348 --> 00:00:09,625
Build the duty set:

4
00:00:09,903 --> 00:00:15,464
loyalty, lawful obedience, disclosure, confidentiality, accounting, and reasonable

5
00:00:15,511 --> 00:00:16,057
care.

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,201
These duties guide the agent's conduct, not just the paperwork.

7
00:00:20,584 --> 00:00:22,384
Notice the word lawful.

8
00:00:22,767 --> 00:00:26,424
A client's instruction to discriminate unlawfully is not an instruction

9
00:00:26,471 --> 00:00:27,980
the agent must obey.

10
00:00:28,305 --> 00:00:32,148
Confidentiality also does not justify hiding a fact that the

11
00:00:32,218 --> 00:00:34,563
law requires the agent to disclose.

12
00:00:34,772 --> 00:00:35,561
Quick check:

13
00:00:35,770 --> 00:00:39,753
must an agent follow an unlawful discriminatory instruction from a

14
00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:40,519
client?

15
00:00:42,797 --> 00:00:43,239
No.

16
00:00:43,448 --> 00:00:45,955
Obedience applies to lawful instructions.

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,718
Duties operate together within the law.
