Special sense, importing a special type of confidence based on reliance which may lead to undue influence. '«Confidentiality» is intended to convey that extra quality in the relevant confidence that is implicit in the phrase «confidential relationship» .... It imports some quality beyond that inherent in the confidence that can well exist between trustworthy persons who in business affairs deal with each other at arms length. It is one of the features of this element that once it exists, influence naturally grows out of it ....' Lloyd Bank v.
