Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Geneva courts had jurisdiction under Article 5(1) Lugano Convention based on an agreed place of performance in Geneva.
Decisione estratta
Jurisdiction depended on proving an agreement that repayment was to occur in Geneva; that proof was not established.
Motivazione estratta
The alleged agreement on the place of repayment had to be proved strictly. The evidence did not make an oral or tacit agreement evident, and the bank transfers in Geneva were not sufficient to establish the contractual place of performance.
