Question juridique clé
Whether the widow could obtain account information regarding indirect relationships of the deceased from the bank
Solution extraite
The bank's contractual duty of information does not extend to indirect relationships of which the deceased himself was not entitled to demand disclosure.
Motifs extraits
Heirs succeed only to the deceased's contractual rights; for fiduciary structures, foundations or trusts the beneficiary is not a contractual party and the bank secrecy is, in principle, opposable.
