Questão jurídica principal
Whether the model cancellation letter contained untrue factual assertions amounting to disparagement under Art. 3 lit. a UWG
Decisão extraída
For contracts concluded before 20 December 2001, the letter asserted an untrue fact: that the plaintiff's sellers knew of the portal's closure and withheld that information.
Fundamentação extraída
The court separated factual assertions from value judgments. The statement about the sellers' knowledge is an objectively verifiable inner fact; the lower court had failed to isolate this factual core and had treated the passage as a pure legal assessment.
