Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the asset manager could rely on the clients' tacit consent to forex forward transactions, extending the mandate beyond the written agreement.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The clients' conduct, including the signed credit request and their knowledge of the losses and risks, allowed the manager to rely in good faith on consent to the expanded mandate.
Motivazione estratta
On the facts found by the cantonal court, the clients knew the nature and risks of the transactions and behaved in a way that objectively justified the manager's belief that they accepted them; therefore the trades fell within an extended mandate under the principle of trust.
