Disputes concerning financial intermediation have reached,
despite the level of sophisticated complexity that characterizes
them, a well-established position in jurisprudence. Two recent
judgements of the Supreme Court suggest dwelling on two central
aspects that, as will be seen, still deserve a deeper focus:
1. the first, which has a formal character, consists in the
obligation of written form;
2. the second, which is of a substantive nature, consists of
information obligations.
1. As is well known, the laws that have succeeded one another
from time to time have always provided for the necessity of the
written form for the so-called framework contract as well as, upon
the occurrence of certain investment risk parameters, for the
individual purchase orders.
