Questione giuridica chiave
Whether Art. 200 Abs. 1 ZPO on paritarian conciliation applies to disputes from agricultural leases.
Decisione estratta
No. Disputes arising from agricultural leases are not covered by Art. 200 Abs. 1 ZPO; the competent first conciliation authority is the justice of the peace, followed by the tenancy court.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 200 ZPO adopts the terminology of the OR and refers to disputes from lease and tenancy of residential and commercial premises. Agricultural leases under the LPG are to be distinguished from tenancy and lease of commercial premises under Art. 276a Abs. 2 OR. The Canton of Zurich did not extend paritarian conciliation to agricultural leases in § 66 GOG, so § 57 GOG applies.
