Recently cited in:Burns v Grevler [2010] NSWSC 1219 at [85] per Rein J. 85 I accept that it is important for the Court not to seize upon a conflict of interest and work backwards to conclude that there must therefore be a fiduciary obligation: see Breen at 109 per Gaudron and McHugh JJ and Ausintel Investments Australia Pty Ltd v Lam (1990) 19 NSWLR 637, discussed in P W Young, C Croft and M L Smith, On Equity (2009), Thomson Reuters, Sydney at [7.80]. Sewell v Zelden [2010] NSWSC 1180 at [81] per Rein J. 81 The law in relation to benefits obtained by third parties in the context of a breach of trust or fiduciary duty has come under close scrutiny in recent times. Much judicial and extra-judicial consideration has been given to the topic, and I will attempt to distil the principles binding on this Court and relevant here (see Consul Development Pty Limited v DPC Estates Pty Limited (1974) 132 CLR 373 and Farah Constructions Pty Limited v Say-Dee Pty Limited (2007) 230 CLR 89), acknowledging the assistance of P W Young, C Croft and M L Smith, On Equity (2009), Thomson Reuters, Sydney (see [6.880]-[6.910])
