Insurance mediation or investment advice?
Magnusson- Sweden
- December 05 2017
The Supreme Court recently referred a case to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) concerning the demarcation of insurance mediation and investment advice, and the extent to which the statutory liability insurance for insurance intermediaries should respond to claims in respect of such services. In tandem with the ECJ proceedings, the Swedish Ministry of Finance proposed that the EU Insurance Distribution Directive 2016/97 be transposed into local law by way of introducing an insurance distribution act.
