Key legal question
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite the appellant's failure to quantify his monetary conclusions.
Extracted holding
A civil appeal seeking payment of money must state quantified conclusions; because the appellant requested only performance under the insurance contract without a sum, the appeal was inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Article 42(1) LTF preserves the prior requirement that monetary claims be quantified. The appellant had been warned in the cantonal proceedings, but still did not specify an amount, so the court could not enter into the merits.
