Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal could rely on new factual allegations and new objections not raised below
Solution extraite
The new factual assertions and objections were not admissible in the federal appeal because they were not properly grounded in the record and had not been raised in the cantonal proceedings.
Motifs extraits
In appeals under the former OG, the Federal Court is bound by the facts found below except for narrow exceptions; new allegations and defenses are excluded. The appellant did not show that the additional facts had been pleaded below or that the lower court had overlooked them.
