Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal could include the full claim amount and new evidentiary requests.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The increased claim was admissible, but the late evidentiary submissions, pleadings notes, and documents had to be excluded as inadmissible novelties.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under the applicable federal procedure, only material from the cantonal record can be considered; in this Bernese procedure the decisive process material was already contained in the first-instance files and protocol, so Art. 51(1)(b) OG did not require additional filing.
