Vorvertragliche Pflichten der Kreditinstitute im Kreditgeschäft und im Wertpapiergeschäft : Eine vergleichende Betrachtung unter Berücksichtigung des Wertpapierhandelsgesetzes

»Lender Liability and Liability of Financial Advisors«The author compares German law principles of lender liability with the standard of care of financial advisors. While the German Securities Trading Act and judicial precedent established a banker's duty to know his customer and know his product when providing investment services, no comparable principles exist in the field of lending. After analysing the similarities and differences of both business types, the author considers whether a lender's duties should follow equivalent standards.
