Questão jurídica principal
Whether the employee’s request for appointment of an expert under Art. 322a(2) OR is merely an evidentiary motion or an independent claim.
Decisão extraída
The request is not a mere motion for evidence; it is an independent claim based on the employee’s contractual control right to have a jointly chosen or court-appointed expert designated.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 322a(2) OR entitles the employee to receive the necessary information and inspect the books through an expert if needed. If the parties cannot agree, the judge appoints the expert. The request therefore serves to enforce a standalone right and belongs to voluntary jurisdiction.
