Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the 1995 agreement was entirely void under Art. 20 OR because the future transfer of an apartment lacked public deed form.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Only the non-compliant transfer arrangement was void; the loan agreement itself remained valid.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 20(2) OR, only the defective contractual part is void unless the contract would not have been concluded without it. The Supreme Court upheld the finding that the parties mainly intended financing of the borrower’s building project, not the apartment purchase, so the contract would have been concluded anyway.
