Question juridique clé
Whether the plaintiff was the keeper of the accident vehicle under the Swiss Road Traffic Act.
Solution extraite
The plaintiff was the keeper because he had the material, immediate power of disposal and used the car on his own account and risk.
Motifs extraits
Keeper status depends on actual control and use, not formal ownership or the vehicle registration. The employer's payment of costs and formal registration were not decisive given the plaintiff's free and immediate use for several months.
