Question juridique clé
Whether the bank breached its duty to inform about issuer and guarantor of the structured product
Solution extraite
No breach was established; given the client’s experience, the brochure, the questions asked, and the market context, the bank was not required to stress the issuer and guarantor identities more explicitly.
Motifs extraits
The client had received or at least had access to the brochure; he signed it; he focused on full capital protection; Lehman had a strong rating and no adverse market signals made the issuer/guarantor identity a decisive warning element.
