Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the defendant company was solidarily liable under the simple partnership for B.'s obligations under the 18 September 1997 agreement.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The agreement named only B. as contractual party; the plaintiff failed to show that B. acted on behalf of the simple partnership or that the defendant otherwise became bound.
Extrahierte Begründung
Solidary liability under Art. 544(3) OR requires that the partner contracted for the partnership within the limits of representation rules. The factual findings did not support such representation or apparent authority.
