Question juridique clé
Whether the reform appeal against an incidental cantonal decision was admissible
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible because reversing the incidental ruling could end the case and avoid lengthy, costly evidence proceedings.
Motifs extraits
The disputed ruling concerned only liability in principle; if rejected, the action would fail definitively. The remaining damage assessment would require major further evidence, so immediate review met Art. 50 OJ.
