Key legal question
Whether the appeal could challenge the lower court's factual findings and evidentiary assessment.
Extracted holding
The Federal Supreme Court was bound by the cantonal findings except in narrow statutory exceptions; mere appellate criticism of evidence was inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
In Berufung, only federal-law violations can be reviewed; factual deviations, new facts, and criticism of the lower court's weighing of evidence are not admissible.
