Key legal question
Whether the reform appeal was admissible despite challenging the cantonal assessment of evidence under Art. 8 CC.
Extracted holding
No. The appeal merely attacked the cantonal evaluation of evidence, which cannot be reviewed in a reform appeal.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 8 CC governs burden and degree of proof, but not how the judge forms conviction. In reform proceedings, the Federal Court cannot examine whether proof was actually established; that concerns evidence assessment reviewable only by public-law appeal for arbitrariness.
