Questione giuridica chiave
How to interpret clause 22.2 of the agency agreement regarding the assigned portfolio's value.
Decisione estratta
The clause meant that the portfolio handed over at the start of the agency had to be fully offset against any customer-compensation claim; the blank amount did not imply CHF 0.
Motivazione estratta
The wording, context, contract history, and purpose supported the respondent's reading. The amount only needed to be determinable, not fixed at signing; the appellant could not rely on the blank line to assume no deduction.
