Resumo Omnilex

The court held that Art. 59 BV protects only against intercantonal forum in the traditional sense and cannot be relied upon by a defendant merely because he lives in another district of the same canton. However, because the claimant had sued all sons/heirs of Fidel Depuoz jointly and sought an enforceable judgment, the action had to be directed against all of them. The success of the other appellants therefore required the contested orders to be annulled also as against Simon Depuoz.

Sumário Omnilex

Art. 59 BV; intercantonal scope of venue protection and joinder of heirs; the constitutional venue guarantee may be invoked only in an intercantonal setting and not against an intra-cantonal district forum. Where a claim is directed jointly against all heirs of a deceased person and an enforceable judgment is sought, the action must be brought against all joint defendants; if the complaint of some defendants is upheld, the annulment must extend to all co-defendants owing to the unitary character of the dispute and the need for consistent enforceability.

Erwägung 2

  1. Art. 59 BV hat nur interkantonale Bedeutung. Er kann demnach von dem im Kanton Graubünden wohnhaften Rekurrenten Simon Depuoz nicht angerufen werden, obwohl er seinen Wohnsitz nicht im Bezirk Heinzenberg, sondern in einem andern Bezirk des Kantons hat. Doch richtet sich die Klage nicht gegen diesen Rekurrenten allein, sondern gegen alle Söhne (Erben) des Fidel Depuoz als Streitgenossen und muss gegen alle gerichtet werden, wenn der Kläger ein der Vollstreckung fähiges Urteil erwirken will. Die Gutheissung der Beschwerde der andern Rekurrenten muss daher die Aufhebung der angefochtenen Verfügungen auch gegenüber Simon Depuoz nach sich ziehen.

Questões jurídicas principais extraídas pela Omnilex

Questão jurídica principal

Whether Art. 59 BV could be invoked by Simon Depuoz, who resided in the canton but outside the district

Decisão extraída

No. Art. 59 BV has only intercantonal significance and cannot be invoked by a cantonal resident solely because he lives in another district of the same canton.

Fundamentação extraída

The constitutional venue protection under Art. 59 BV applies only between cantons, not within a canton.

Questão jurídica principal

Whether the annulment obtained by the other appellants also had to benefit Simon Depuoz

Decisão extraída

Yes. Since the action was directed against all sons/heirs of Fidel Depuoz jointly and had to be brought against all of them to obtain an enforceable judgment, the success of the other appellants required the contested orders to be set aside as against Simon Depuoz as well.

Fundamentação extraída

A claim against joint heirs must be directed against all if the claimant seeks an enforceable judgment; therefore the relief cannot be limited only to some defendants when the legal relationship is unitary.
