Question juridique clé
Whether BLS replaced GBS as expropriator and is liable for compensation and costs
Solution extraite
BLS, as successor by merger, was the proper expropriator and must pay the expropriation compensation and procedural costs.
Motifs extraits
The commercial register showed GBS had been dissolved by merger into BLS under Art. 748 OR; BLS therefore had to appear as expropriator.
