Question juridique clé
Whether the claim for CHF 21,380,000 based on directors' and auditor's liability was time-barred.
Solution extraite
The limitation defense failed; the relative limitation period could not start before bankruptcy and before sufficient knowledge of damage and wrongdoing was available.
Motifs extraits
For claims belonging to the bankruptcy estate's creditors as a whole, knowledge of the company itself is irrelevant; the relevant damage and the alleged breach were not sufficiently known before the inventory and collocation plan were made available.
