Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal was admissible against the cantonal appellate judgment.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible only insofar as it raised issues not reviewable, or not reviewable as narrowly, by the cantonal cassation court; some complaints were inadmissible for failure to exhaust cantonal remedies.
Extracted reasoning
The Court applied the rules on exhaustion and scope of federal review, distinguishing between issues that had to be raised before the Obergericht or the Kassationsgericht and those that could still be heard in federal proceedings.
