Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the termination notice was null because the effective termination date appeared only in the covering letter and not in the official form.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The termination was validly notified: Art. 9 OBLF applies to the official termination form under Art. 298 CO, but the form need not be supplemented by the covering letter in the way required for rent increases; the notice was not invalidated on this ground.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Court held that the wording and function of Arts. 266l and 298 CO are identical and that Art. 9 OBLF therefore also governs the agricultural lease termination form. However, the analogy with Art. 19 al. 1bis OBLF is excluded; strict formal requirements apply, and information contained only in an accompanying letter cannot cure a missing indication in the form. On the facts, the Court nonetheless upheld the cantonal finding that the notice was null, so the appeal failed.
