    Cantonal Court in the First Canton

    Decision summary
    The court rejected Gow2's objections that the court lacked jurisdiction because the parties had agreed to arbitrate and that KLM's claim was inadmissible. It held that the urgent circumstances permitted an interim order while preserving arbitration for the merits. Gow2 was ordered to resume fuel deliveries to KLM within 24 hours, and KLM was ordered to pay the fuel price and a concession fee of USD 0.30 per gallon pending a final arbitration decision. Gow2 was also ordered to pay SRD 100,000 per day for non-compliance, capped at SRD 3,000,000; the costs were set off between the parties, and the remaining relief was refused.
