Key legal question
Whether the appeal declaration complied with Art. 67(2) OG by stating the extent of the challenge and the requested amendments to the judgment.
Extracted holding
No. An appeal declaration must contain a substantive request to alter the challenged judgment, such as dismissal of the claim or reduction of the awarded amount; a mere request for annulment and remand is insufficient.
Extracted reasoning
The defendant's declaration only sought annulment and remittal for additional evidence, but did not request a material amendment of the cantonal judgment. Under settled practice, this defect renders the appeal declaration legally ineffective.
