Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court acted arbitrarily by refusing to suspend the eviction case pending the administrative rent appeal.
Solution extraite
No. Given the urgency of the eviction claim for rent default and the low likelihood that the administrative outcome would eliminate the arrears, refusing suspension was not arbitrary.
Motifs extraits
Suspension is exceptional and depends on balancing procedural economy and the risk of conflicting decisions. Under the Agricultural Tenancy Act, non-payment of the agreed rent can place the tenant in default even before a rent-approval decision. On the facts, even a substantial reduction of the rent would not have eliminated the unpaid balance.
