Question juridique clé
Whether the company had to be dissolved for failure to maintain a legally compliant auditor arrangement under Art. 731b OR.
Solution extraite
The dissolution and liquidation order was upheld because the company repeatedly failed to react to the register office and court deadlines, so a milder measure would not likely have worked.
Motifs extraits
Art. 731b OR follows a hierarchy of measures. Appointment of the missing organ is usually the milder remedy, but here the company ignored two consecutive deadlines and gave no convincing reason to expect compliance; dissolution was therefore permissible as ultima ratio.
