Question juridique clé
Whether the parties agreed on a full or only partial engine overhaul
Solution extraite
The written exchange and the circumstances showed a full overhaul for CHF 20,000; a partial overhaul was not what the plaintiff could reasonably have understood.
Motifs extraits
Under the reliance principle, the defendant had to clarify expressly if he would not perform all works listed in his offer. Silence could not defeat the objective meaning of the plaintiff's acceptance.
