Key legal question
Whether refusing to consider the arbitral award and interpretation decision violated the right to be heard.
Extracted holding
No. The arbitral decision was not decisive for the present dispute, so the appellate court was not required to take it into account.
Extracted reasoning
The right to adduce evidence exists only for timely, procedurally proper, relevant and potentially decisive evidence. The arbitral proceedings concerned issues of law to be examined in the parallel reform appeal and were not determinative here.
