Catchwords
Expert - Evidence - Arbitration Clause - Limited
This case involved both the relevancy of an arbitration clause which it was said only covered one area and if an expert was needed.
Background
The court of cassation said that the court upheld the elementary ruling that ordered the company (appellant) to pay another company an amount of money on the grounds that the arbitration condition in the insurance contract only related to the disputes which resulted from the risk of fire.
Decision
The court said that the court dismissed the request made by the company for appointing an expert because the evidence extracted from the documents of the case were sufficient for establishing the ruling. The court said that the company's defence was therefore irrelevant in this regard.
The court dismissed the appeal.
