Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the insurer's counterclaim for restitution of paid insurance benefits was time-barred.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The claim was filed after the applicable limitation period had started with the insurer's withdrawal in February 2001 and expired before the counterclaim in August 2003.
Motivazione estratta
Even assuming a contractual restitution claim, the court held that Art. 46(1) VVG governed claims arising from the insurance contract and that the counterclaim was brought too late. The court therefore left open whether Art. 67 OR or Art. 127 OR applied.
