Kernrechtsfrage
Whether Swiss courts had international jurisdiction over the inheritance restitution claim against the Liechtenstein establishments.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The claim was treated as an inheritance action because it was primarily based on heirship and aimed at recovering estate assets from non-heirs; therefore Art. 86(1) PILA conferred jurisdiction at the testator's last domicile.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court distinguished inheritance actions from singular claims by asking whether the claimant invokes heirship as the basis of the claim. Since the defendants were non-heirs and relied on a special title such as a gift, the dispute concerned the existence and scope of inheritance rights.
