Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible despite failure to exhaust cantonal remedies on some points.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible only insofar as it challenged the cantonal appellate judgment; complaints about evidentiary arbitrariness and lack of transcript were inadmissible because a nullity appeal to the cantonal court had not been used.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 86 OJ requires exhaustion of cantonal remedies. In Vaud, the nullity appeal could address essential procedural violations and arbitrariness in evidence assessment.
