Kernrechtsfrage
Whether Swissport had passive standing as debtor of the pre-retirement benefits
Extrahierter Entscheid
Swissport was the proper defendant; the letter of 27 August 1998 created its own contractual obligations.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the employee could sue one alleged solidary debtor for full performance. The future amount obtainable in SAirGroup’s concordat was irrelevant, and Swissport's later corporate succession did not remove its role in the federal proceedings.
