Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court acted arbitrarily by disregarding prior statements in another proceeding as evidence that UDC admitted authorship of the contested advertisement.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The Federal Court held that the cantonal court could not reasonably state that no fact in the record showed an admission by UDC, because the prior pleadings contained multiple clear extrajudicial admissions of authorship.
Extrahierte Begründung
Statements made in another case were not judicial admissions in this proceeding, but they remained freely appreciable evidence. Ignoring several unequivocal admissions on a decisive fact was untenable and contrary to the file.
