Question juridique clé
Whether A. and B. incurred liability under Art. 754 aCO for alleged board omissions while they served as directors of W. S.A.
Solution extraite
No. The cantonal court’s finding that their omissions were not in a natural causal link with the social loss was binding; without causal link, liability fails.
Motifs extraits
Their mandate ended before the loss materialized as pleaded; the damage corresponded to claims arising later from the March 1991 contracts and the fictitious capital liberations, so their conduct was not a sine qua non of the loss.
