Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the respondent could seek relief beyond dismissal of the appeal without filing a cross-appeal
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. In the absence of a separate appeal, the respondent could only request dismissal of the appellant's appeal and could not pursue broader relief.
Extrahierte Begründung
Swiss federal procedural law does not recognize a joint appeal; adverse party claims must be raised within the appeal deadline.
