Sam is an accountant, and their client, Mr Smith, has left some investments in Sam's care, under their supervision, with strict instructions to notify him if there is any risk of their losing value. This was clearly set out, in a signed document, when Mr Smith appointed Sam. Last week, Sam noticed a high risk to Mr Smith's investment, but intentionally did not tell Mr Smith, as they may have then lost Mr Smith's continued business if he had taken his business elsewhere.
