What are the remedies if an HOA breaches its fiduciary duty?
If a Homeowners Association (HOA) breaches its fiduciary duty in Delaware, the remedies for this breach depend on the severity of the breach and the type of remedy available. Generally, the remedies for a breach of fiduciary duty may include damages, injunctive relief, and restitution. Damages refer to monetary compensation to the injured party for the losses they incurred due to the HOA’s breach. These damages may be compensatory, which are intended to make the injured party “whole” again, or punitive, which are intended to punish the HOA for its breach. Injunctive relief refers to an order from the court that affects the HOA’s conduct, typically requiring it to take a particular action or refrain from a particular action. This type of remedy is usually requested when the injured party needs to prevent additional harm from occurring due to the HOA’s breach. Restitution involves an order from the court that requires the HOA to return to the injured party any property or money that the HOA obtained due to its breach. The remedies available for an HOA’s breach of fiduciary duty depend on the facts of each specific case. If you believe that your HOA has breached its fiduciary duty, you should consult an attorney to evaluate your case and determine what remedies may be available to you.
