Question juridique clé
Whether the civil appeal satisfied the requirement for precise reformative relief
Solution extraite
No. A mere request to annul the cantonal judgment was insufficient because the appellant did not state the exact modification sought, especially for a monetary maintenance claim.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Supreme Court held that a civil appeal is generally reformative. If the appellant seeks to change a money award, the request must be quantified. A cassatory request is only exceptionally allowed when the Federal Supreme Court could not decide the merits itself. That was not the case here.
