Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Zurich forum-selection clause covered the claimant’s competition-law claims tied to the contract.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The alleged unlawful conduct was limited to refusal to perform, defective performance, termination, and amendment of contract terms, so the claims were sufficiently connected to the contract and fell within the exclusive Zurich forum clause.
Fundamentação extraída
Claims based on cartel law may be subject to a forum clause when no mandatory forum excludes it and the disputed unlawful acts are contractually connected or simultaneously breach the contract.
