Dismissal of the appeal against the order for a special investigation pursuant to Art. 697d CO Parties: Appellant (Plaintiff): [A. AG] , represented by attorneys Dr. Nicolas Bracher and Valerio Preisig Respondent (Defendant): [B. AG] , represented by attorney Dr. Sascha Daniel Patak Facts: Since 1997, there has been a collaboration between [B. AG] (manufacturer) and [A. AG] (distributor) for gastronomy kitchen equipment. In 2010, [B. AG] acquired shares of [A. AG] and concluded a shareholders' agreement. In 2020, the relationship deteriorated, and the parties agreed on annual framework contracts. At the end of 2020, [D. AG] , [F.] , and [B. AG] concluded a new shareholders' agreement, which was terminated in 2022. [D. AG] and [F.] founded [G. AG] to develop and distribute a successor device. [B. AG] accused the board of directors of [A. AG] of having factually liquidated the company and changed its purpose. [B. AG] applied for a special investigation, which was partially upheld by the Higher Court of the Canton of SocRA. [A. AG] filed an appeal with the Federal Supreme Court. Reasoning: The appellant disputes the respondent's standing to file the application for a special investigation. However, the lower court correctly held that the respondent's standing pursuant to Art. 697d para. 1 no. 2 CO is given. The respondent holds at least 10% of the share capital and thus has the right to request a special investigation. The lower court correctly considered that the disputed withdrawal of [D. AG] from the share purchase agreements does not change the respondent's shareholder status at the time of the judgment. The appellant alleges that the respondent has not sufficiently demonstrated a violation of the law CO statutes pursuant to Art. 697d para. 3 CO. However, the lower court, in accordance with the case law of the Federal Supreme Court, examined whether the respondent could present objective indications of a possible violation of the law with the information available to her. The lower court correctly held that the respondent could sufficiently demonstrate objective indications of a possible factual liquidation of the appellant and thus a possible breach of the duty of loyalty by the board of directors. The appellant objects to the lower court's assessment of a violation of the law. She complains that the lower court has violated her right to present counter-evidence (Art. 152 para. 1 CPC) and her right to be heard (Art. 53 para. 1 CPC). However, the lower court has considered the submissions of the appellant and has limited itself to a substantial point in the reasoning. The appellant would rather have to show in the form of a sufficiently reasoned arbitrariness complaint that it is quite untenable and simply not tenable that the business conduct of the appellant based on the profit and loss account 2022 is irrelevant for the allegation of a factual liquidation at the end of 2022. The appellant alleges a violation of Art. 697d para. 2 CO. She denies the respondent a sufficient legal interest in protection. However, the lower court correctly held that the respondent has a current legal interest in the nine questions in order to exercise her shareholder rights. The questions are sufficiently specific, openly formulated and serve to clarify facts. Finally, the appellant argues that the respondent is acting abusively in various respects with her application for a special investigation. However, the submissions of the appellant are not suitable to demonstrate an obvious abuse of the right to conduct a special investigation of the minority shareholder.
