The Indian manufacturer asked its Swiss subsidiary, the plaintiff in these proceedings, to issue an invoice for the goods. The plaintiff sent the invoice to the defendant, pointing out that it had been requested to do so by its Indian parent company, and demanded that a promissory note be issued by the defendant to secure payment of the contract price.
La filiale suisse a envoyé la facture au grossiste, en précisant qu'elle le faisait à la demande de sa société mère, et l'a prié d'émettre un billet à ordre pour garantir le paiement du prix du contrat.
