Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could enter into the appeal despite the lack of a concrete reformatory request.
Extrahierter Entscheid
A purely annulment request was problematic, but the court assumed, in the appellant's favor, that he also sought the claim to be granted; in any event the appeal failed on the merits.
Extrahierte Begründung
A civil-law appeal normally requires a substantive request, but the court may interpret submissions according to the principle of trust. Because the appellant was unrepresented, the court treated the filing leniently.
