Questão jurídica principal
Whether the respondent's counterclaim for CHF 1,020,000 in transfer taxes could be set off against his debt to the appellant
Decisão extraída
The counterclaim could not be set off because the appellant's alleged obligation to consent to a partial debt assumption was not of the same kind as the respondent's monetary debt.
Fundamentação extraída
A duty to consent to debt assumption is not a money debt and therefore does not satisfy the mutuality requirement for set-off under Art. 120(1) CO.
