Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the civil appeal complied with Art. 42(1) LTF despite seeking only annulment
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was inadmissible because the appellants failed to state proper conclusions on the merits; an annulment request alone was insufficient here.
Extrahierte Begründung
Given the arguments on novation and fee reduction, the Federal Tribunal could have issued a final judgment if the appeal succeeded; therefore specific merits conclusions were required.
