Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the later Portuguese appellate judgment could be invoked for the first time before the Federal Supreme Court as a new fact.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The later foreign appellate judgment was an inadmissible new fact because it had not been submitted to the cantonal appellate court by a timely noven filing and Article 99(1) BGG did not help the appellant.
Extrahierte Begründung
The judgment was rendered before the cantonal appeal decision, so it was an improper attempt to cure an omission in the cantonal proceedings. In exequatur appeal proceedings under Art. 43 LugÜ and Art. 327a ZPO, genuine novas must be raised promptly in the cantonal appeal stage.
