Key legal question
Whether the Federal Court could hear the appeals against a cantonal interlocutory decision on liability
Extracted holding
The interlocutory liability ruling was separately appealable because allowing the appeal could immediately end the case and avoid extensive evidence-taking.
Extracted reasoning
The decision concerned only liability as a preliminary issue; the conditions of Art. 93(1)(b) BGG were met given the need for costly medical and comparative-law evidence if liability were upheld.
