Key legal question
Whether the federal judgment could be revised under Art. 137 lit. b OG based on newly obtained witness statements and exhibits
Extracted holding
No. The alleged new evidence did not make revision of the Federal Supreme Court judgment available because the Court had not itself made factual findings that could be revised on this basis.
Extracted reasoning
Revision under Art. 137 lit. b OG requires newly discovered decisive facts or evidence that could not previously be produced. Here, the prior federal judgment had only reviewed the cantonal decision within the limits of a constitutional complaint and had not itself determined relevant facts; therefore the revision ground was not met.
