Basis of Entrustment
Why the money or property was delivered and the purpose associated with that delivery.
These cases require careful review of how money or property was entrusted, the capacity of the parties, the purpose of delivery, the disputed conduct and the documents and evidence surrounding the matter.
We receive initial assessment requests involving embezzlement, breach of trust and alleged misuse of entrusted money or property, whether the request concerns the position of an accused person or an affected party.
A financial claim or disagreement between parties does not by itself determine the legal character of the matter. The review considers why money or property was delivered, the obligations attached to it, the alleged conduct, and the available records and communications.
The initial assessment considers the relationship between the parties, the sequence of events and the procedural stage before identifying the legal issues that may require further examination, without assuming a particular outcome.
