Question juridique clé
Whether the plaintiff proved that the goods shipped in Hong Kong were identical to the goods demanded from the defendant.
Solution extraite
No. Without proof of identity of the goods, vindication could not succeed.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Supreme Court was bound by the cantonal findings and held that, because the plaintiff failed to establish identity between the shipped fur goods and the goods stored with the defendant, questions of possession or presumptions under property law were irrelevant.
