Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the respondent's representation at the preparatory hearing violated the right to be heard and equality of arms.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The complaint was inadmissible because the objection should have been raised earlier; in any event, no substantiated unequal treatment was shown and the alleged denial of evidence related to a federal-law evidentiary issue.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under good faith and abuse-of-rights principles, procedural objections must be raised at the first possible stage. The appellant waived the main hearing and could not reserve the complaint for the appeal. The alleged refusal of party examination concerned Art. 8 ZGB and could not be reviewed in the state-law appeal.
