DECISION OF EUROPEAN COURT OF JUSTICE OF 31. 5. 2018.
IN CASE C-542/16 LÄNSFÖRSÄKRINGAR SAK FÖRSÄKRINGSAKTIEBOLAG V DÖDSBOET EFTER INGVAR MATTSSON AND LÄNSFÖRSÄKRINGAR SAK FÖRSÄKRINGSAKTIEBOLAG

The Decision of European Court of Justice, which is the subject of this review, refers to the insurance mediation concept and/or scope of application of two Directives governing obligations to consult when concluding insurance contract tied to an investment fund - the Insurance Mediation Directive 2002/92 and Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2004/39. The most interesting question is what legal advisory regime applies when selling insurance policies with investment elements: insurance advice or investment products advice. The proceedings were instituted by a request from the Supreme Court of Sweden for a preliminary ruling concerning the construing of Directive 2002/92 on insurance mediation, on the occasion of two separate disputes brought before the Swedish Supreme Court at the time: Strobel and Others / Länsförsäkringar and/or Länsförsäkringar / Dödsboet efter Ingvar Mattsson.
