Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the loan claim had been extinguished or reduced by set-off under the share-sale arrangements.
Decisione estratta
The loan claim was not extinguished by set-off; the contractual arrangements had to be read together, but they did not eliminate the claim against the appellant.
Motivazione estratta
The supposed set-off lacked mutuality and the related assignment agreement showed that the parties intended a transfer of the debt arrangement, not the disappearance of the claim. The documents, construed in good faith, did not support the appellant's position.
