Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily found that the respondent's filing lacked a procedural acknowledgment of the claims and a link to the pending case.
Solution extraite
The criticism was unfounded; the cantonal court's reading was tenable because the filing did not amount to an express procedural admission.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court held that the contested passage only meant there was no true procedural declaration admitting the claim. The appellants did not show any statement on the merits of the asserted claim.
