Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal appeal court lawfully refused to award costs/party compensation despite the appellant's success on appeal.
Decisione estratta
The refusal was unlawful because the appellant had in fact requested party compensation on appeal and, having succeeded, the court had to decide that request.
Motivazione estratta
The appeal court overlooked the appellant's request for compensation. Under Art. 95(1) and 106(1) CPC, costs include party compensation and follow the outcome of the case unless an exception applies; no basis justified omitting a ruling on the request.
