California Court of Appeal

In an action for securities fraud, negligence, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of fiduciary duty, trial court judgment is affirmed in part and reversed in part where: 1) the court erred in sustaining the demurrer to the claim for breach of fiduciary duty as the complaint adequately stated a prima facie claim for breach of fiduciary duty against defendant; 2) the court properly sustained the demurrer as to the claim for negligent hiring and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage; 3) the court properly granted summary judgment on the remaining claims as the evidence is undisputed that defendant made no negligent misrepresentation, there is no merit in the claim of negligent supervision, and the statutory securities fraud claim is time-barred.
