Key legal question
Whether the English judgment could be recognized in Switzerland and bar the Swiss action by res judicata.
Extracted holding
Yes. The appellants did not show any recognition obstacle that would prevent the English judgment from being relied on pre-judicially in Switzerland.
Extracted reasoning
The Swiss court held that the appellants did not substantiate a violation of public policy or any admissible challenge to the English court's jurisdiction; the Swiss court would not review the foreign judgment on the merits.
