Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the respondent's request in the answer constituted an inadmissible cross-appeal.
Decisione estratta
The respondent's request could not be entertained because Swiss procedural law does not provide for a cross-appeal; only the appellant's claims define the scope of review.
Motivazione estratta
The Court is bound by the appellant's prayer for relief and may not go beyond it; the respondent's arguments can only be considered defensively within that scope.
