Key legal question
Whether the CHF 250,000 payment promise was void under Art. 20 CO as immoral or unlawful because it allegedly bought withdrawal of an objection to a capital increase.
Extracted holding
No. The promise was also linked to carrier services and was not shown to be a prohibited commercialization of a legal position.
Extracted reasoning
The binding findings showed the amount was agreed as a substitute for carrier services and not solely as payment for withdrawing the objection; therefore the agreement did not violate good morals under Art. 20 CO.
