Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the fiduciary breached contractual duties by failing to verify the validity of the guarantee and to inform the client.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The mandate, interpreted in light of the circumstances, included a duty to verify the guarantee; in any event the fiduciary also breached its duty of diligence and loyalty by failing to warn the client.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the relationship of trust, the fiduciary's role in arranging the deal, and the client's justified expectations meant that the mandate encompassed verification of the guarantee. Therefore there was no need to rely on trust liability.
