Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal to award party compensation (ripetibili) was arbitrary under cantonal procedure after the appellant fully succeeded.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Refusing compensation was arbitrary because the cassation appeal was fully upheld and no special circumstances justified departing from the general rule that the successful party is entitled to compensation.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 148 CPC Ticino, the losing party normally reimburses costs and compensation. The appellant had to use cassation proceedings to challenge the first-instance ruling, was legally represented, and the reasons for annulment did not justify depriving her of necessary litigation expenses and counsel fees.
