Kernrechtsfrage
How is an unspecified payment of CHF 80 to be allocated among several outstanding fines owed to the same creditor?
Extrahierter Entscheid
Art. 86(1) CO applies by analogy in criminal proceedings: if the debtor's conduct, interpreted under the reliance principle, shows an allocation intent, the payment must be credited to the corresponding debt. A payment matching the amount of a specific claim can indicate such intent.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Criminal Code does not regulate the order in which multiple fines owed to the same creditor are extinguished when the debtor gives no specific explanation. Therefore the general law on imputation of payments governs. A receipt of exactly CHF 80 may, depending on the circumstances, evidence an intent to pay that specific fine.
