On November 8, 2019, the Supreme People’s Court of the PRC issued the Notice by the Supreme People’s Court of Issuing the Minutes of the National Courts’ Civil and Commercial Trial Work Conference, or the Conference Minutes, which identifies the liability of sellers of financial products in respect of the trial of cases relating to disputes over protection of the rights and interests of financial consumers. According to the Conference Minutes, where an issuer or seller of a financial product fails to perform its suitability obligations, causing damages to any financial consumer in the course of purchasing the financial product, the financial consumer is entitled to compensations from either the issuer or the seller of the financial product, or, in accordance with Article 167 of the General Provisions of the Civil Law (the predecessor of the General Provisions of Civil Code of the PRC), from both the issuer and the seller. Further, the Conference Minutes also clearly states that if a financial service provider fails to follow the suitability principle, that is, to sell suitable products to suitable customers, causing damages to any financial consumer participating in high-risk investment activities after providing its financial services, the financial consumer may request the financial service provider to assume its liability for compensations.
