Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily held that the appellants remained members of the irrigation/economic-improvement syndicate liable for project VS 7002 costs.
Decisione estratta
The cantonal court did not act arbitrarily in finding that the appellants remained members of the syndicate and had to contribute to the works.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Court accepted the continuity between the earlier improvement projects and the contested renewal project; under cantonal law, an improvement syndicate may continue as an operating/maintenance syndicate with the same powers and may require members to share costs proportionately. The appellants failed to show that the cantonal interpretation was untenable or arbitrary in its result.
