Key legal question
Which Federal Supreme Court division had jurisdiction over the dispute about re-entry of a stock corporation in the commercial register?
Extracted holding
The First Civil Law Division was competent because register matters in the law of obligations, including the stock corporation, fall within its jurisdiction.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 31 para. 1 lit. h BGerR, the First Civil Law Division handles register matters in the law of obligations; decisions on the commercial register are generally subject to civil law appeal under Art. 72 para. 2 lit. b no. 2 BGG.
