Question juridique clé
Whether the foreign insolvency administrator had standing to defend and be sued on the counterclaim in Switzerland.
Solution extraite
No. Given the insolvency-related and enforcement-related purpose of the dispute, the administrator could not litigate the counterclaim in Switzerland in the present constellation.
Motifs extraits
The counterclaim was an inseparable consequence of the parties' settlement governing the realization of assets for the German estate and was closely connected to the attempt to bring Swiss property into the foreign bankruptcy; this justified denying process standing as already for the main claim.
