4.Pam is an investor who suffered investment losses. She claimed that Jim, the relationship manager of ABC Bank, had assured her that the investment was "safe and secure". Pam met Jim at a social gathering at which Pam discussed "private placements" with him. Jim gave her his name card which stated his designation as relationship manager of ABC Bank (the Bank). This led her to believe, as she claimed, that the investment was authorised or endorsed by the Bank, and she therefore proceeded to invest $500,000 which was to mature a year later. After receiving monthly interest for 3 months, the payments suddenly stopped. When Pam claimed against the Bank, the bank manager informed her that the "investment" had nothing to do with the Bank but was in fact an unsecured loan to a company incorporated in Panama. Pam is contemplating legal action against the Bank and Jim. Which is the least relevant legal issue in this case?

A.Whether payment of interest from the investment was credited directly to Pam's account with the Bank

B.Whether Jim represented that he was advising Pam in his capacity as the Bank's employee

C.Whether Pam believed that the investment was authorised or endorsed by the Bank

D.Whether Pam had failed to do due diligence by checking if the investment was endorsed by the Bank
