Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the notary’s activity was governed by a contract of mandate rather than a mere courtesy
Extrahierter Entscheid
The relationship was a mandate under Swiss contract law; the notary acted in the bank’s interest and pursuant to its instructions.
Extrahierte Begründung
The task was a professional service in the bank’s interest, with no separate fee agreed, and the notary’s role in holding the bond pending replacement securities showed a binding undertaking.
