the applicant - a medium-sized enterprises - the respondent bank is limited to compensating the losses suffered Related to the completion of a CMS Spread Ladder swap contract claim.
In two consultations on the seventh January and 15 February 2005 recommended the defendant based on their forecast that the difference (spread) between the two-year interest rate and the ten-year interest rate is expected to expand significantly in future, the applicant's completion of a CMS Spread Ladder swap contract, the the parties on 16 Completing in February 2005. Thereafter, the defendant undertook to provide to the applicant of a reference amount of € 2,000,000 for the period of five years of semi-annual interest payments at a fixed interest rate of 3% pa, whereas the applicant in return undertook to pay the same dates from the related bill in the first year interest rate of 1.5% pa on the defendant and thereafter a floating rate equal to at least 0.0% and is dependent on the development of the "spreads "between the 10 - and 2-year swap funds rate on Euribor base (CMS10 - CMS 2) according to the formula calculated [Strike - - (CMS 2 CMS10)] The amount of the" strike rate of the previous period + 3. "was initially at 1.0% and fell over the contract term in stages starting at 0.85%, 0.70% and 0.55%. After the same day between the parties concluded framework agreement for financial futures, the netting of mutual interest payments agreed, that only the party that owed to the respective due dates, the higher amount, the difference between the amount owed was paid. A unilateral termination was without good cause exists for both parties first time after three years' duration and only against payment of compensation in the current market value of the contract. In consultation with the presentation materials used by the defendant had the applicant regarding the "risks" among other things, pointed out that - if the interest rate differential falls much below today's levels - the applicant - and got to pay higher interest payments than they receive. Because of her payable interest payment in the amount was not limited was their risk of loss is theoretically unlimited. At the time of conclusion of the CMS Spread Ladder swap contract had a negative market value of about 4% of the subscription amount (€ 80,000), after which the defendant did not point the applicant. The contract proved to be for the applicant as a losing proposition, because continuously from autumn 2005, the relevant for the calculation of its obligation to pay interest rate differential decreased. On 26 October 2006, she said the challenge of the CMS Spread Ladder swap contract on grounds of fraud, which was rejected by the defendant. Ultimately, the parties to the treaty dissolved on 26 January 2007 compared Payment of a compensation amount by the applicant in the amount of the current negative market value of € 566,850 on. The - taking into account interest received - mainly relies on repayment of € 541,074, including interest-related action, the applicant, inter alia, that the CMS Spread Ladder swap contract in their view was ineffective because he due to the imbalance of opportunities and risks against morality (§ 138 BGB). She is also the view of the defendant's chances of winning malicious deception (§ 123 BGB) and was advised also to be erroneous. The defendant had not sufficiently informed about the risks of investing and the recommendation was not their risk tolerance and investment objectives met. An advisory error, the applicant also provides that the defendant is not informed of the completion time of a negative market value of the contract.
The action in both courts below had no success. The Court of Appeal approved revision, the applicant further pursued her remedy sought. the case of the underlying CMS Spread Ladder swap contract and related interest rate swap contracts had the defendant bank from 2005 in addition to medium-sized enterprises - also recommended community facilities as an investment product - such as the local applicant. In this context, if it is taken in a number of other methods to offset losses to complete. The instance-of-court case law is mixed. With regard to numerous other judgments, some of which have also dismissed the action (OLG Bamberg, WM 2009, 1082 et seq; OLG Frankfurt am Main, WM 2009, 1563 et seq; OLG Celle, WM 2009, 2171 et seq; OLG Frankfurt, WM granted in 2010, 1790 et seq) and others have the action (OLG Stuttgart, WM 2010, 756 ff, OLG Stuttgart, WM 2010, 2169 et seq), is in the XI.
