Question juridique clé
Whether the broker was entitled to reimbursement of customs outlays under the mandate relationship
Solution extraite
The cantonal court had not sufficiently examined whether the broker’s outlays were necessary and attributable to the broker; the matter required further factual findings.
Motifs extraits
If the later tariff correction remained possible, the broker may have incurred unnecessary costs not covered by the mandate and not reimbursable under Art. 402(1) CO.
