The court ruled that the dealer's actions did not cause legal damage to the client, as the receipt was validly issued upon receipt of funds.

Arvopaperinvälittäjä A, joka B:n toimeksiannosta oli ostanut B:lle arvopapereita, oli B:n jätettyä kauppahinnan maksamatta A:lle myynyt ilman B:n erillistä toimeksiantoa arvopaperit ja kuitannut kauppahinnasta ostoista aiheutuneen katesaatavansa B:ltä. Sittemmin konkurssin tehneen B:n konkurssipesä on vaatinut A:lta kauppahintaa vastaavaa vahingonkorvausta katsoen, että A oli oikeudettomasti myynyt arvopaperit eikä kuittaukselle näin ollen ollut perusteita. Kysymys siitä, oliko A:n menettelystä aiheutunut B:lle vahinkoa ja kuittausperusteista.
