Abstract

The aim of this article is to examine the legal status of bank employees (advisors) acting as agents selling its corporate bonds, on the basis of a case study of the GetBack affair. The research methodology is based on the analysis of legal texts and interpretations. The result obtained in this study is a legal interpretation of the case. The article presents an original approach to understanding the legal framework of business conducted by Polish financial institutions. Apart from the situation of the victims of the GetBack bank affair, which was widely reported in the media, another aspect which came to light as a result of the scandal and requires scrutiny is the dubious legal status of the agents selling the bank’s corporate bonds to its customers.
