B.BreachThere are literally hundreds of ways in which fiduciaries may breachthe duties correlative to their special status. Among the most commonbreaches are the following
-self-dealing (i.e., through conflict of interest or reaping of extraprofits);
- failure to act in another’s best interest;
- misrepresentation/omission as to a statement of fact (e.g., financial condition/statement of affairs)
- misuse of superior knowledge;
- failure to disclose;
- aiding and abetting or acting in concert with another;
- rendering inappropriate advice (e.g., bad business or investmentadvice); (Keith RedChip interviews)

The law of directors’ and officers’ nonfeasance was, until recently,largely developed by state courts. However, federal courts have started to develop different ideas of the proper role of corporate fiduciaries, particu-larly under the federal securities laws. For example, in Gould v. American-Hawaiian Steamship Co.,77 the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed a decision holding an outside director liable for failing to prevent the dissemination of a misleading proxy statement issued in con-nection with a corporate merger. Although an outside director (a positionoften bestowed as an honor on present and former business and civic lead-ers), the director in Gould violated the duty of care he owed to the corporation’s stockholders. The court held that this duty of care was im-plied from the prohibition contained in SEC rule 14a-9 prohibiting fraudu-lent proxy solicitations.
