a relationship in which one person has confidence in and relies on another because
of some combination of a history of trust, older age, family connection and/or superior
training and knowledge, to a point where the party relied upon dominates the situation,
for good or bad. While it may include attorney and client, stockbroker and customer,
real estate agent and buyer, a senior family member and an unsophisticated relative,
the relationship is defined on a case-by-case basis, with reliance and dominance
the key factors. In this situation, the trusting party does not have to be as vigilant
or suspicious as with strangers or people who are not relied upon. The time clock
(statute of limitations) to bring a lawsuit against a crook who is in a confidential
relationship may not start to run until the misdeeds become extremely obvious.
