Key legal question
Whether the civil appeal was admissible under the Federal Supreme Court Act.
Extracted holding
The appeal was not admissible because the appellants failed to raise a receivable challenge to the cantonal court's application of lease-defect law and relied on new evidence without sufficient substantiation.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the appellants merely invoked unequal treatment and tried to rely on two later cantonal judgments not contained in the cantonal record. These judgments were new evidence under Art. 99(1) LTF, and the comparison argument was insufficiently reasoned under Art. 42(1) LTF.
