The law creates the freedom to take risks, but also to suffer the consequences.

Therefore exceptions to this principle, for example liability of the others, must be interpreted strictly.

 It is who invokes this exception, the investor, for example, that should bear the burden of proving the liability of the other.

 The principle of proportionality must be respected.
