Questione giuridica chiave
Whether refusing to hear an unsigned adhesion claim without granting a cure period constituted excessive formalism
Decisione estratta
Yes. The court held that the cantonal court should have granted a period to correct the missing signature before refusing to hear the claim.
Motivazione estratta
Formal rules may not be applied with excessive severity so as to block access to justice. Where an unsigned submission is filed, a cure period is generally required; the cantonal court acted inconsistently with that principle by denying entry without first allowing correction.
