Question juridique clé
Whether the unsigned letter of intent bound B.Y. despite the alleged reservation of written form.
Solution extraite
The bank failed to show arbitrariness in the cantonal finding that the parties had reserved written form and that the unsigned letter was therefore not enforceable against B.Y.
Motifs extraits
The correspondence and negotiations supported an objective understanding that the margin-call undertaking had to be embodied in a signed writing; the bank’s claim that writing was merely evidentiary was unconvincing, and no later waiver of form was shown.
