The result shows the legal relation between futures broker, futures broker representative and costumer that creates rights and obligations is a result of an alliance in the form of mandate and authorization in futures trading contracts. Violations committed by Futures Broker Representatives against the regulations made by the regulator will result in the imposition of sanctions both administratively and criminally.
