P3 occupied an agency/fiduciary position for LKSB and breached fiduciary duties by failing to disclose its relationship and business ties with the proposed expert QGS, creating an undisclosed conflict of interest; because of that breach P3's entitlement to retain certain profits/fees is forfeited and amounts are held on constructive trust for LKSB, entitling LKSB to repayment of RM356,319.58 plus interest and costs; P3's claim is dismissed.
