Key legal question
Whether the appellate court correctly calculated the damage caused by the delayed notification of overindebtedness.
Extracted holding
Yes. Damage had to be assessed by comparing liquidation values at the relevant dates, and the resulting increase in the deficit exceeded the claimed amount.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the expert report, as supplemented, established an increase in the deficit from CHF 3,789,714.85 to CHF 4,830,397.97. The lower court was entitled to rely on this despite criticism about depreciation and the treatment of postposited claims.
