6.1. Introduction
The Court summarises the basis for the seller´s claim: (i) the price for the quotas was set too low by the broker, and (ii) the buyers were given too generous a discount in relation to the sale of shares. The Court then proceeds to a more general discussion of the requirements for liability (6.2 below), and thereafter to a concrete evaluation of the facts in the case against the brokerage firm (6.3 below).
Broker A’s responsibility is addressed in 6.4 below – followed by some reflections of this author (6.5).
