Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal appeal was defective and could be cured by setting a time limit under § 328 ZPO/AG
Extrahierter Entscheid
The refusal to grant a cure period was not arbitrary; the appeal court could insist on strict requirements and need not extend leniency to a self-represented party where the defect was not clearly established from the file.
Extrahierte Begründung
§ 328(2) ZPO/AG is discretionary and should be applied restrictively to avoid privileging unrepresented parties. A cure period is appropriate only for obvious defects that are clearly ascertainable from the record without further inquiry; if the party's legal sophistication or prior advice is uncertain, the court need not order correction.
