Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the contested engagement had to be qualified as a perfect stipulation for a third party rather than a suretyship or porte-fort.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The agreement, read in context and according to its purpose, was a perfect stipulation for a third party: the promised payment was meant to benefit the club directly, and the club could claim performance.
Extrahierte Begründung
The literal wording was ambiguous and did not reflect the parties' real common intention. The decisive purpose was to ensure that the club had additional funds if overindebtedness exceeded the threshold, so that licensing requirements were met. The licensing body had no personal financial interest in receiving the money itself.
