Key legal question
Whether the contractual clause made the ordinary public-law appeal inadmissible
Extracted holding
Yes. The forum clause and the statement that the decision would be final and binding constituted a valid advance waiver of the public-law appeal in this monetary dispute.
Extracted reasoning
The dispute concerned freely disposable pecuniary claims; the appellants' complaints targeted arbitrariness and the right to be heard, which are not inalienable rights. The clause necessarily meant that no further challenge to the state-court judgment was intended.
