Question juridique clé
Whether the Geneva court arbitrarily treated the appellant's pleadings as a judicial admission that the put option under art. 4B(b) could be exercised from 1 July 1992.
Solution extraite
No. The pleadings admitted a factual point about the parties' real and common intention, namely that the June 1990 exchange changed only the valuation period, not the exercise window.
Motifs extraits
The challenged statements were factual admissions in the context of contract interpretation, not admissions on pure law; the cantonal court therefore did not apply procedural rules on judicial confession arbitrarily.
