Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant was bound to stand in for the interior fit-out contract and thus liable for the defects caused by B. GmbH
Solution extraite
The court upheld the finding of a factual consensus that the appellant had undertaken to assume responsibility for the contract and to answer for B. GmbH's performance.
Motifs extraits
Because the lower court found a proven actual agreement, there was no room for interpretation under the reliance principle or for burden-of-proof arguments under Art. 8 CC; the appellant's criticism was largely appellatory and did not establish arbitrariness.
