Kernrechtsfrage
Whether Swiss courts had local jurisdiction for the divorce under Art. 59 lit. b IPRG based on the wife's domicile in Switzerland.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No Swiss domicile was established at the time the action was filed; therefore Swiss courts lacked jurisdiction under Art. 59 lit. b IPRG.
Extrahierte Begründung
Domicile under Art. 20 IPRG depends on objectively recognizable circumstances showing that the person made the place the center of life interests. The cantonal findings, binding absent arbitrariness, showed that the wife’s ties to Monaco remained stronger and that the Swiss indicators were insufficient.
