Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the bank could rely on the contractual risk-transfer clause for forged withdrawal and transfer orders
Extrahierter Entscheid
The clause did not apply to the disputed operations because the bank executed transactions outside the agreed verification framework and failed to exercise required caution.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cash withdrawal required a handwritten signature, not a mere copy. The phone transfers and later faxed documents were executed without adequate verification, and the bank had already relaxed normal precautions for this manager despite warning signs. In equity, it could not shift the resulting loss to the clients.
