Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the rogatory commission had to be executed despite the appellant's objections based on bank secrecy and confidentiality interests.
Decisione estratta
The commission had to be executed; the appellant could not rely on the asserted confidentiality interests to block production.
Motivazione estratta
Under the Hague Evidence Convention, execution is the rule and refusal is limited. The appellant, as formal account holder forming an economic unit with the beneficial owner, could not invoke a refusal right based on the beneficial owner's interests. Privacy objections of third parties are for the merits judge to protect after receipt of the documents.
