Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the creditor had a sufficiently protected interest under Art. 697h(2) CO to inspect the annual accounts and audit report.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. A creditor facing a substantial claim and pending litigation may have a protected interest to assess the debtor's financial situation and litigation cost risk; the amount was not a mere bagatelle, and payment difficulties were plausibly shown.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that a creditor need not prove actual insolvency or non-collectibility. It is enough that concrete circumstances make the information need objectively protected. Here, the large claim, the pending action, and the repeated changes to payment terms supported the interest.
