Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the contractual clause in section 8.5 constituted an arbitration agreement under the Swiss Arbitration Concordat.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The clause provided only for an expert appraisal on whether termination was justified, not for a tribunal empowered to decide the dispute with binding judicial force.
Extrahierte Begründung
An arbitration agreement requires a decision-making power replacing state courts. Here the third party was called an 'expert', could decide only on a limited factual point, and the parties could still sue within 30 days, so the clause was an expert-appraisal clause, not arbitration.
