Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court's finding that the article caused the lost business opportunity was arbitrary
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The court could reasonably find that the article was at least a contributing cause of the lost deal, given the evidence of the intended partnership and the witness statements about media influence.
Extrahierte Begründung
Natural causation is a factual question reviewed only for arbitrariness. The cantonal court's assessment of the correspondence, the conditional offer, the later withdrawal, and the witness testimony remained defensible despite other possible contributing factors.
