Question juridique clé
Whether a valid delegation agreement under Art. 390 CPC transferred appellate jurisdiction over the internal arbitration award to the cantonal court
Solution extraite
No valid express delegation agreement was established; the cantonal court correctly declined jurisdiction and declared the appeal inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
Art. 390 CPC requires an express agreement choosing the cantonal court as appeal authority. The 2006 compromise only regulated arbitral procedure, and later correspondence about notification did not contain an express jurisdiction clause. The parties could not have intended such a delegation merely by referring to Vaud procedural rules.
