Question juridique clé
Whether the contract clause granted profit participation despite failure of the business-goal condition
Solution extraite
The clause was clear: the 10% profit participation was payable only if the business goals according to plan/budget were reached, and that condition was not met.
Motifs extraits
The court upheld the objective interpretation of the clause under the trust principle; nothing showed that 'business goals according to plan/budget' had to mean profit goals. The wording and its link to the contract's engagement clause supported the lower courts' reading.
