Question juridique clé
Whether the heirs suffered direct damage allowing an individual action against the company's administrator under former Art. 754 CO.
Solution extraite
The alleged loss concerned the company’s patrimony, while any loss to the heirs was only indirect; therefore they could not sue the administrator individually.
Motifs extraits
The PPP belonged to F. SA, not to A.A. If the sale proceeds were wrongly withheld, the company remained debtor toward A.A. or his heirs; the direct injury was to the company, and any reduction in share value or inability to obtain payment was only consequential.
