Omnilex summary

Y.________ SA sought urgent conservatory relief after UEFA's appeal body confirmed its exclusion from Group I of the 2011/2012 Europa League. The canton court, acting under Art. 340 CPC, prohibited UEFA from validating the Group I match results and resulting standings pending the decision on provisional measures. It also held that costs and party expenses would follow the outcome of the provisional-measures proceedings and declared the order immediately enforceable because of extreme urgency.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 340 CPC; interim conservatory measures in case of extreme urgency; where immediate protection is required to preserve the status quo pending determination of provisional measures, the court may order a temporary prohibition to prevent the irreversible validation of results or standings. Such relief is limited to maintaining the situation until the main provisional-measures request is decided; costs may be reserved to follow that outcome, and immediate enforceability may be declared when urgency so requires.

The court deferred the final allocation to the provisional-measures result.
