Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Geneva courts arbitrarily applied Art. 9 LPC by accepting only partial translation of German-language exhibits.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Art. 9 LPC does not require full translation of every exhibit; translating the relevant passages was sufficient here.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the cantonal language rule must be interpreted according to its purpose and constitutional limits. Where only specific passages are relevant, requiring translation of manifestly irrelevant parts would be purposeless and excessively formalistic, provided all pertinent passages are reasonably certain to have been translated.
