Key legal question
Whether the re-election of the auditors had to be annulled for lack of independence and related failures
Extracted holding
No. The plaintiffs did not show a legally relevant lack of independence or a causal link between alleged deficiencies and the AGM vote.
Extracted reasoning
A shared auditing mandate with another company and alleged omissions in prior reporting did not, by themselves, prove lack of independence under Art. 727c CO. The court also rejected a cumulative assessment because none of the individual complaints was substantiated.
