Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated the duty to ask questions or the right to be heard by not clarifying additional nullity grounds in the nullity complaint.
Extracted holding
No violation was shown. Under the Zürich nullity procedure's grievance principle, the appellate court had no duty to inquire ex officio about further nullity grounds not raised.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that any hearing defect would not allow newly raised nullity grounds to be examined for the first time before the Federal Supreme Court. The alleged grounds, including arbitrary assessment of evidence, were constitutional complaints requiring exhaustion of cantonal remedies. The right to be heard does not require a court to prompt parties to raise omitted objections, nor to hear them separately on legal qualification absent an unforeseeable legal basis.
