Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal appeal was admissible against the cantonal recusal decision without a prior cantonal appeal remedy
Decisione estratta
The appeal was inadmissible because the cantonal decision should first have been open to a cantonal appeal under the CPC before review by the Federal Supreme Court.
Motivazione estratta
The recusal decision was issued after the CPC entered into force, so Art. 405 CPC and Art. 50(2) CPC required a cantonal appeal under Arts. 319 et seq. CPC. The Ticino court had acted as first and only cantonal instance, which does not satisfy Art. 75 LTF.
