IPRG; 1. Kapitel: Gemeinsame Bestimmungen; VII. Berücksichtigung zwingender Bestimmungen eines ausländischen Rechts
Art. 19 IPRG
Anstelle des Rechts, das durch dieses Gesetz bezeichnet wird, kann die Bestimmung eines andern Rechts, die zwingend angewandt sein will, berücksichtigt werden, wenn nach schweizerischer Rechtsauffassung schützenswerte und offensichtlich überwiegende Interessen einer Partei es gebieten und der Sachverhalt mit jenem Recht einen engen Zusammenhang aufweist.
Ob eine solche Bestimmung zu berücksichtigen ist, beurteilt sich nach ihrem Zweck und den daraus sich ergebenden Folgen für eine nach schweizerischer Rechtsauffassung sachgerechte Entscheidung.

Main ground for allowing the appeal: the lower court misapplied Article 19 IPRG by considering a foreign mandatory norm despite the special regime under Articles 166 ff. IPRG.
