The same is true of the case were a party acts on behalf of another person in take care of the latter’s property. Considering the rapid development of financial services in terms of the kinds and the complexity of the services given by various financial institutions, it becomes even more important to delineate the scope of a duty owed by a party who acts on another person’s behalf in the above situations. This research, therefore, aims to clarify the contents of a duty of loyalty, in particular, owed by an agent in Japanese law. In order to achieve this aim, this research also is conducted from the viewpoint of comparative legal studies considering especially relevant issues in the so-called common law countries.
