The Court of Appeals agreed with the court of first instance that the dispute between the parties should be referred to arbitration, based on the arbitration clause in the parties’ consulting services agreement. Referring to several decision of panels of the Commercial Court, the Court stressed that arbitration clauses must be interpreted narrowly. In the present case, however, the arbitration clause was broadly worded.
