'Do parents owe fiduciary duties to their children and does a parent who physically and/or mentally abuses their child breach those duties. Do such duties subsist only when the children are young and in the parents’ direct care, or do they extend beyond and when the children become adults and are no longer in their parents’ direct care? Do parents also or otherwise owe fiduciary duties to their children who have on-going special needs regardless of the cause of such needs? If fiduciary duties exist and are breached, then what are the consequences. The role of the Family Protection Act 1955 and can trusts can be used to thwart claims for damages or applications for relief under the Family Protection Act?'
