For the jurisprudence a responsibility for social
contact in the real estate field is borne by the mediator
who, as a professional, has the duty to protect the client's
legal sphere.
Any circumstance that constitutes a "social contact"
generates obligation for the professional involved, to behave
diligently towards those who trusts their professionalism with
confidence. This circumstance only affects certain subjects
belonging to a professional status, of whom particular duties or
rules are incumbent, and may concern those such as a
doctor, a teacher, a
bank employee, etc.
Social contact liability generates a contractual
obligation.
Social contact liability has been hypothesized and applied in
some judgments even in the event of failure to fulfil obligations
deriving from the typical mediation relationship.
