Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the 2004 notice of termination was annulable under Art. 271a CO because it was served within three years after prior litigation
Extrahierter Entscheid
The notice was not annulable because the landlord proved an urgent need to use the premises itself.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 271a para. 3 let. a CO excludes the three-year retaliatory-protection rule where the landlord has an urgent own-use need. The cantonal court’s finding that the landlord needed the whole building to expand production, create jobs, and complete the conversion into a watchmaking factory was not arbitrary.
