Key legal question
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible against alleged judicial inactivity in Geneva civil procedure.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because Geneva civil procedure provided no other remedy against judicial inactivity.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Supreme Court examined admissibility ex officio and held that, in the absence of any cantonal remedy for a judge's inactivity, recourse under Art. 86 OJ was open.
