Questão jurídica principal
Whether the auditors had a duty to issue a reservation in the 1989 audit report.
Decisão extraída
The court left open whether a duty existed, because causation was missing in any event.
Fundamentação extraída
The lower court's view that the auditors could rely on the bank's reassuring explanations and the professional bank audit reports was not decisive; even assuming a breach, liability required causation.
