Key legal question
Whether the Swiss courts had international jurisdiction over the divorce and ancillary marital-property division, including Hungarian land.
Extracted holding
Yes. Swiss courts at the plaintiff's domicile were competent for the divorce, and that competence extended to ancillary matters, including marital-property division concerning foreign immovables.
Extracted reasoning
Under the IPRG, the recognition of a Swiss divorce abroad is irrelevant to direct Swiss jurisdiction. Arts. 59, 60, 63 and 51 IPRG confer jurisdiction; Art. 97 IPRG is inapplicable and Art. 99 IPRG concerns applicable law, not jurisdiction.
