Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the respondent could obtain a declaratory ruling in its answer without filing a cross-appeal
Extrahierter Entscheid
The request was inadmissible because no cross-appeal is provided for in this procedure and the respondent had not challenged the lower court's rejection of its declaratory request.
Extrahierte Begründung
A party that did not itself appeal cannot seek reversal of an adverse part of the cantonal judgment by way of response.
