Key legal question
Whether the conditions for a special audit under Art. 697b CO were made plausible, especially a violation of law or bylaws causing damage.
Extracted holding
No sufficient plausibility was shown for a violation of law or bylaws; the request therefore failed.
Extracted reasoning
A special audit requires concrete, sufficiently specific allegations. The applicants merely compared accounting figures from 2000 and 2001 and did not explain why the increases were objectionable or why the answers given at the meeting were inadequate. The court held that the cantonal court did not impose an overly strict standard.
