Key legal question
Whether the federal reform appeal was admissible despite factual arguments differing from the cantonal findings.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible in principle, but factual criticism beyond the cantonal findings was inadmissible absent a proper invocation of the statutory exceptions.
Extracted reasoning
In reform proceedings the Federal Court is bound by the cantonal findings unless a manifest clerical error or omitted pertinent facts are expressly invoked under the applicable procedural rules.
