In order to state a cause of action in Florida for breach of fiduciary duty, there must exist a fiduciary duty, a breach thereof, and resulting damages. Gracey v. Eaker, 837 So. 2d 348, 353 (Fla. 2002). In Doe v. Evans, 814 So.2d 370 (Fla. 2002), the existence of a relation of trust and confidence between parties was sufficient to establish the presence of a fiduciary relationship. Id. at 374, quoting Quinn v. Phipps, 113 So. 419, 421 (Fla. 1927).
