Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant acquired ownership of the BMW in good faith under Art. 714(2), 933, 936 ZGB
Solution extraite
No. As a seasoned used-car dealer, the appellant should have made further inquiries because of the price, rapid successive transfers, and surrounding circumstances; its good faith was excluded.
Motifs extraits
The court held that in the used-car trade, especially for higher-value vehicles, an increased duty of inquiry applies. The appellant ignored multiple warning signs and made no relevant investigations.
