Question juridique clé
Whether a foreign-currency loan claim may be awarded in Swiss francs instead of the contract currency.
Solution extraite
No. A loan denominated in euros must be adjudged in euros; Art. 84 OR gives only the debtor an optional right to pay in Swiss francs, not the creditor a right to demand them.
Motifs extraits
The court distinguished substantive performance from enforcement. The claim remains owed in the agreed foreign currency; conversion into Swiss francs under debt-enforcement rules serves only enforcement purposes and does not change the underlying obligation.
