Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal appeal court violated the right to a reasoned decision under Art. 29(2) Constitution by not addressing all alleged grounds for extinction or unenforceability of the debt.
Solution extraite
No. The appellate court sufficiently dealt with the arguments actually raised on appeal and had no duty to examine unargued legal theories on its own initiative.
Motifs extraits
The duty to give reasons requires only brief mention of the decisive grounds. The appellant had not properly raised remission of debt, pactum de non petendo, or abuse-of-right arguments before the cantonal appeal court; those were, in any event, issues of federal law reserved to the reform appeal.
