Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal had to be filed in French under the cantonal procedural language rules.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. In Vaud, French is the official language of the proceedings, and the appellant did not comply with the order to submit a French appeal within the time limit.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 129 CPC requires proceedings to be conducted in the canton’s official language, and Art. 38 CDPJ makes French the official language of trials in Vaud. Because the appeal was not filed in French despite a specific deadline and warning of inadmissibility, it had to be rejected.
