Questão jurídica principal
Whether the fiduciary breached contractual duties by failing to verify the validity of the guarantee and by not warning the investor.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The mandate and the surrounding circumstances created a contractual duty to inform and to verify the guarantee; the fiduciary breached its duty of diligence and loyalty.
Fundamentação extraída
The fiduciary was not merely a passive collector of funds. Its role in the negotiations and the use of its offices created a relationship of trust. Under the objective interpretation of the mandate, the investor could in good faith understand that taking custody of the guarantee implied checking its validity.
