Key legal question
Whether a federal complaint alleging judgment against the clear wording of the law is admissible without first using the cantonal cassation remedy.
Extracted holding
No. In Lucerne, the extraordinary cassation complaint under the cantonal ZPO was still available, so the cantonal remedies were not exhausted.
Extracted reasoning
The alleged violation corresponds to an extraordinary ground for cassation under Art. 263 no. 3 ZPO, and Art. 271 ZPO specifically allows cassation of appellate judgments; the federal court therefore could not hear the complaint before that remedy was pursued.
