Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insurer was liable under Art. 101 CO for the agent’s diversion of investment funds.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No liability under Art. 101 CO: after 20 July 1995 no relevant mandate existed, and the agent’s receipt of investment monies was outside his authorized tasks.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 101 CO requires a pre-existing obligation and a direct functional link between the delegated task and the damage. The agent was authorized only to collect insurance premiums, not investment funds; diverting money for investments was not performance of the insurer’s duty.
