Questão jurídica principal
Whether the claim had a sufficient connection with Switzerland to justify attachment under Art. 271 para. 1 ch. 4 LP.
Decisão extraída
The Swiss nexus was not sufficient; the relevant alleged unlawful acts occurred at the London escrow stage, while the Swiss account was only a distribution channel for proceeds.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Court held that the lower court confused the place of the harmful result with the place where additional patrimonial damage occurred. The alleged illicit conduct was tied to the payment of premiums into the English escrow account and the subsequent redistribution of funds, not to the mere existence of the Swiss bank account.
