Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the alleged damage from the lost tax-loss offset was sufficiently substantiated under Art. 8 ZGB and Art. 398(2) OR
Extrahierter Entscheid
The lower court applied too strict a substantiation standard for the alternative scenario of founding a subsidiary; a remand was necessary for evidence on that scenario.
Extrahierte Begründung
A party must substantiate the hypothetical higher asset position, but not every circumstance in exhaustive detail. For a feasible corporate restructuring alternative, it was enough to allege the concrete possibility of founding a subsidiary and likely using it. The Handelsgericht demanded excessive detail and thereby prevented evidence taking.
