Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant had a sufficient legal interest in the negative declaratory claim that the respondent has no recourse/right of reimbursement against it.
Solution extraite
No sufficient declaratory interest existed; the claim was inadmissible because the only purpose was to block a later forum-selected recourse action, which cannot justify declaratory relief.
Motifs extraits
A declaratory interest requires an immediate, protectable need to remove legal uncertainty. The court held that forum-running alone does not satisfy this requirement in Swiss law, especially where a performance action is expected soon.
