Dear all,

I'd be very grateful for any guidance on cases or academic authority
on the following hypothetical:

Suppose that A acts as agent for P (the principal) in a transaction.
In the course of that transaction, A comes to learn that S, through
whom P deals with A has a conflict.

Does A have a duty to tell P? If so, is that duty in contract, tort or
fiduciary in character?

Suppose further that S's conflict is created by A, who offers
commissions to S for directing P's business to A, which A presumably
believes that P is aware of but of which P is not in fact aware?

Kind regards

Ger
