Question juridique clé
Whether Zurich courts had jurisdiction under Art. 5 no. 3 LugÜ for the claims against the German-domiciled defendant.
Solution extraite
No. On the pleaded facts, neither a handlungsort nor an erfolgsort in Zurich was established.
Motifs extraits
The tort jurisdiction of Art. 5 no. 3 LugÜ is limited to the place of the harmful event. For the first factual complex, the payments from Zurich banks were made with the claimants' consent, and the alleged misuse occurred elsewhere. For the second, the alleged conduct took place from Wiesbaden, with only an account in Zurich involved, which did not create a relevant place of conduct or result.
