Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily found that the respondent's filing lacked a procedural acknowledgment of the claims and a link to the pending case.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The criticism was unfounded; the cantonal court's reading was tenable because the filing did not amount to an express procedural admission.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Federal Court held that the contested passage only meant there was no true procedural declaration admitting the claim. The appellants did not show any statement on the merits of the asserted claim.
