Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily found that the commission agreement was tied to the transfer of player C.________ and not to an unconditional debt acknowledgment.
Extracted holding
No. The cantonal court could rely on the pleadings, the debt assignment wording, and the evidence to find the real common intent of the parties.
Extracted reasoning
The original claim alleged that the respondent had engaged Z.________ to transfer the player for remuneration, the respondent admitted that allegation, and the assignment expressly referred to a transfer/commission. The alternative version was raised later and was unsupported.
