Question juridique clé
Whether the written mandate was tacitly extended to cover foreign-exchange forward transactions
Solution extraite
The written mandate did not expressly cover these transactions, but a tacit extension could in principle arise from the parties’ conduct; the record was insufficient to decide this definitively.
Motifs extraits
Tacit contractual modification is possible under the trust principle, but only through unequivocal conduct. The lower court’s findings did not concretely establish the information exchanged and therefore did not allow a reliable assessment of tacit consent.
