Key legal question
Whether the defendants' appeal could be heard despite their evidentiary objections being limited by the prior remittal decision
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible only within the limits set by the earlier remittal; the cantonal court had to address only the alleged forgery of the 28 August 1997 letter and the authors' capacity.
Extracted reasoning
The prior Federal Supreme Court decision bound the lower court on all issues already decided; only the remaining factual questions were open.
