Questão jurídica principal
Whether the employment contract entitled the employee to a fixed salary of CHF 5,500 plus 5% commission from May 2001 onward
Decisão extraída
No. The Federal Supreme Court upheld the cantonal court's interpretation that no such binding wage agreement was proven and that the clause was to be understood as leaving a gap for that period.
Fundamentação extraída
The wording was not clear enough to override the contextual interpretation; the employee had not shown a violation of the trust principle or an obviously incorrect factual finding. The lower court's gap-filling with usual wage under Art. 322(1) CO was not successfully challenged.
