Question juridique clé
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite the appellants seeking mainly annulment and remand without sufficiently precise reformative prayers.
Solution extraite
The appeal was inadmissible because the appellants did not formulate precise reformative conclusions, especially regarding the allocation of assets and the amount of soultes.
Motifs extraits
A civil appeal is a reformative remedy. As the contested judgment already contained all data needed to calculate the soultes, the Supreme Court could have ruled on the merits. The appellants nevertheless limited themselves to broad requests for annulment and to complex recalculations that were not clearly or easily derivable from the pleadings.
