Tonya Smith |
Court of Appeals of California, Second District, Division Six |
$98,529 |
A mortgage lender claimed it had no fiduciary responsibility to the borrower on a loan it brokered because it funded its own loans. However, an appellate court upheld a lower court’s decision that the lender acted as a loan broker and breached a fiduciary duty to the borrower. Nearly $100,000 in damages was awarded. |
