Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the respondent insurer had standing to pursue recourse in its own name under Art. 144 IPRG and the applicable Scottish law
Extrahierter Entscheid
The recourse claim was admissible; the fact that Scottish law allowed the insurer to proceed in the insured’s name did not defeat standing in the Swiss proceedings.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 144 IPRG protects the recourse debtor against unforeseeable deterioration of its position, but Scottish law still allowed recovery through an insurer-controlled action with compulsory cooperation of the insured. In Swiss proceedings, Swiss procedural law applies, and the appellant failed to show any material disadvantage or risk of double recovery.
