Questão jurídica principal
Whether the bank breached its duty of information/warning in an execution-only securities relationship.
Decisão extraída
No. In an execution-only relationship without management mandate, the bank generally has no general duty to advise; it must warn only in exceptional circumstances, which were not present here.
Fundamentação extraída
The client had no asset-management or advisory mandate, had not sought advice, and no special trust relationship was established. The bank’s written notices sufficiently indicated the price mechanism and one-year lock-up, and the client’s inattentive conduct did not create a duty to verify his understanding.
