Key legal question
Whether the tribunal had jurisdiction over claims based on the alleged prolongation of the 2001 contract
Extracted holding
The tribunal's denial of jurisdiction over claims grounded in the new 2007 agreement was upheld; the prolongation claim itself was rejected.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the contract mechanism in clause 11 contemplated either a new contract or, only if no offer was made, an extension of the existing one. The parties' acceptance created a new agreement, so claims under that agreement were outside the arbitration clause in the 2001 contract.
