Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Swiss court had jurisdiction over the claim seeking invalidation of the memorandum.
Decisione estratta
The action falls under contract jurisdiction rules, not tort jurisdiction rules, so no Swiss forum exists on the pleaded basis.
Motivazione estratta
The requested declaration concerns the invalidity of the contract itself; fraud is only the reason for invalidity and not the object of the claim. The action is therefore contractual under Art. 112 LDIP, not an action based on an unlawful act under Art. 129 LDIP.
