Key legal question
Whether the bank could rely on the contractual risk-transfer clause in its general conditions for an undetected forged or unauthorized order.
Extracted holding
The clause was inapplicable because the bank's own auxiliary committed a grave fault when she treated the former representative as authorized and executed the atypical transfer without sufficient precautions.
Extracted reasoning
A clause shifting the risk of undetected falsifications is subject by analogy to Art. 100 CO and falls away in case of grave fault; here the bank's employee ignored clear warning signs and the unusual nature of the transaction.
