Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the joint appeal challenging active standing, assignment, and applicable law should be upheld
Extrahierter Entscheid
The joint appeal failed: the assignment of the damage claim was valid, the Swiss mandate was governed by Swiss law, and the criticism of active standing and written form was unfounded.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Court held that the assignment and the mandate were governed by the law designated by Swiss PIL rules; the lower court’s factual findings on the parties’ common intention and written expression bound the Federal Court. Questions of foreign company law and the validity of the foreign entities' organization could not be re-examined in reform proceedings.
