Another argument in favor of the plaintiff was that information about the amount of the commission was not spelled out anywhere and was not brought to the client.
Judicial practice so far proceeds from the fact that this [commission - approx. TAdviser] is a service. If it is provided, then money cannot be returned for it, even if the price... very large. Therefore, you should pay attention to the cost of the commission in the application for connection to the collective insurance program.
