Key legal question
Whether the cantonal judgment upholding the old lease had to be annulled and the case remitted.
Extracted holding
Yes. The Federal Supreme Court partially allowed the complaint, set aside the cantonal judgment, and remitted the matter to the ground registry inspectorate for reconsideration.
Extracted reasoning
The lower court had not properly examined whether the existing lease conditions made economically viable hotel operation impossible; that factual assessment had to be made first by the authority.
