A key facet of the duty to avoid conflicts (the conflicts rule) is the avoidance of unauthorized conflicting duties. This principle applies where a director or other fiduciary faces a conflict between inconsistent duties. In the corporate setting this generally occurs when one person is on the board of two companies with different interests. It could, however, also occur where a director is a partner or a legal or other adviser to the company and thus owes multiple sets of duties. Sections 175(7) and 176(5) of the Companies Act 2006 (UK) specifically include such conflicts. This chapter critically analyses regulation of conflict of duties, as well as relevant statutory provisions.
