Criminal liability for breach of fiduciary duty: a case of criminal breach of trust by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate by Halim, Akmal Hidayah, Mohd Noor, Nor Azlina

“…In such a case, the personal representative could be charged for criminal breach of trust as provided by the Malaysian Penal Code and would therefore be punished with imprisonment, whipping and fine. This paper aims to examine whether such punishment is adequate in regulating the conducts of the personal representative and remedying the estate beneficiaries against the misconducts of such personal representative. …”
