Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal could seek remittal for evidence taking and still be admissible.
Decisione estratta
A remittal request is admissible only if the Federal Supreme Court cannot itself decide on the basis of the findings below; that was the case here only for some claims, so the request was admissible, but the broader request to grant the counterclaim was not entered into.
Motivazione estratta
The Court applied Art. 55 and 63 OG: it is bound by the facts found below and may not itself complete missing factual findings except in limited circumstances. Because the defendant invoked evidence-related arguments under Art. 8 ZGB and the factual findings were incomplete on those points, remittal was possible; however, the eventual request exceeded what could be decided on the existing findings.
