Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the conciliation authority committed excessive formalism by refusing to entertain the termination challenge without giving time to cure the missing power of attorney.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. If the authority considered the representation defective, it had to grant a reasonable cure period before refusing to proceed.
Extrahierte Begründung
Lease disputes must follow a simple procedure under Art. 274d(1) CO. A strict refusal to hear the claim solely because a signed authorization from B. was missing, without an opportunity to remedy the defect, was an unjustified procedural rigidity and thus excessive formalism.
