Key legal question
Whether the reform appeal met the requirement of precisely quantified conclusions under Art. 55(1)(b) OJ
Extracted holding
The appeal did not satisfy the requirement because the requested modification could not be determined with certainty from the appeal or the cantonal judgment.
Extracted reasoning
Money claims must be quantified. Although unquantified conclusions may be tolerated when the Federal Court cannot itself decide the merits, that exception did not apply here. The appellant's figures and criticism did not allow the final amount claimed to be identified without further calculations.
