Whether the email appeal against the curator fee decision was validly filed in writing and signed as required.
No; an appeal in this procedure must be filed by signed written act, and the emailed submission lacked the appellant’s signature.
Art. 492(1) CPC-VD required a written act signed by the party or representative. The court found the emailed submission defective. The appellant was given a cure deadline under Art. 17 CPC, but did not respond, so the defect remained uncured.
