Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellate court could reconsider factual findings about the meaning and purpose of the payments
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The appellant did not properly request correction or supplementation of the facts, so the Federal Supreme Court was bound by the cantonal findings.
Extrahierte Begründung
In appeal, the court is bound by the facts unless exceptions under the procedural code apply; the appellant relied on unsupported factual allegations.
