Questão jurídica principal
Whether Swiss courts in Appenzell Ausserrhoden had international and local jurisdiction under Art. 113 PILA
Decisão extraída
No jurisdiction was established because the place of performance for the alleged duty to issue and deliver the assignment deed was at the debtor's seat, not in Appenzell.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 74(2)(3) CO, the obligation to perform the assignment agreement had to be fulfilled at the debtor's seat. The fact that the declaration was recipient-oriented and that the assignee needed the deed did not shift the place of performance to the recipient's seat.
