Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the consortium contract was unenforceable because of an alleged cartel-law infringement.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Even if the contract amounted to an unlawful competition agreement under Art. 5 KG, the services already performed had to be paid according to the parties' contractual valuation.
Extrahierte Begründung
A contract contrary to mandatory law is null under Art. 20 OR only to the extent required by the protective purpose of the violated norm. Cartel-law nullity prevents enforcement of unlawful restraints, but does not clearly exclude restitution or payment for already performed services; the privately agreed value of the services remains decisive where the synallagma is not affected.
