Key legal question
Whether the court of appeal violated Art. 8 CC by refusing evidence on damage and by not remitting for further fact-finding.
Extracted holding
No violation: the appellants had not properly and timely offered evidence under the cantonal procedure, so the right to evidence under Art. 8 CC did not arise.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 8 CC protects proof only for legally relevant, contested facts whose proof has been duly offered. The appellants had waived evidence before first instance, and that procedural assessment was not reviewable in reform proceedings.
