Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the 1995 agreement was entirely void under Art. 20 OR because the future transfer of an apartment lacked public deed form.
Decisione estratta
Only the non-compliant transfer arrangement was void; the loan agreement itself remained valid.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 20(2) OR, only the defective contractual part is void unless the contract would not have been concluded without it. The Supreme Court upheld the finding that the parties mainly intended financing of the borrower’s building project, not the apartment purchase, so the contract would have been concluded anyway.
