Key legal question
Whether the defendant was liable under Art. 754 OR for not forwarding CHF 1,786,947.80 to A.________ AG in liquidation.
Extracted holding
Yes. The lower court correctly found a compensable loss, adequate causation and at least negligence from the non-transfer of funds.
Extracted reasoning
The federal court held that the lower court implicitly found all liability elements. The unpaid transfer caused the company’s loss directly and was foreseeably damaging; the defendant’s conduct was at least negligent.
