Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the reform appeal was admissible against a cantonal decision declaring an appeal inadmissible because the first judge had not yet ruled on the request for restoration of time.
Decisione estratta
No. The challenged judgment was based on cantonal procedural law, so it could not be attacked by reform appeal, which is limited to federal-law violations.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Supreme Court held that the cantonal court's decision turned on procedural admissibility and thus on cantonal procedure, excluding reform review under Art. 43(1) OG.
