Question juridique clé
Whether the grape-variety replacement was compensable under Art. 22 LBFA as necessary repairs.
Solution extraite
No. The works were undertaken for the lessee's own interest on a healthy, non-exhausted vineyard and were therefore not necessary repairs to maintain the leased property in contractual condition.
Motifs extraits
Art. 22 LBFA covers only necessary repairs. The factual findings bound the Federal Supreme Court excluded necessity.
