Key legal question
Whether a change of domicile after filing the conciliation request affects local jurisdiction.
Extracted holding
No. Under cantonal procedural law, jurisdiction is fixed when the mediator is validly seised; the later domicile change does not displace the forum.
Extracted reasoning
Article 59 of the Federal Constitution guarantees suit at the defendant's domicile, but leaves the decisive time for establishing jurisdiction to cantonal law. The cantonal rule treated the valid conciliation request as controlling. The court confirmed this approach in line with earlier case law and comparable cantonal rules.
