I'm not sure how OP makes the jump from a sick pilot to "everything" is force majeure. It strikes me as a classic example of an extraordinary circumstance at a location where one would not expect this carrier to have backup crew stationed.

The Swiss courts will back EK here. Unlike in the EU, the judges tend to enforce -- not write -- the law.
