Answer 1

For this problem for breach of contract and conversion 
the possible   remedies   include   the   normal   contract   and   tort remedies. i Also, in a situation in which an agent breaches his or her duty to the principal by retaining benefits that belong to the principal,  a court can   impose   a   constructive   trust   and   declare   that   the   agent   holds   the benefits on behalf of the principal.
