Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court's requirement to remove insulting expressions from the appeal brief constituted excessive formalism or a denial of justice.
Solution extraite
No. The court held that striking an offensive pleading rests on an express legal basis and does not amount to excessive formalism when the language is objectively outraging and improper.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court referred to its earlier decision and noted that the appeal authority may direct proceedings under the CPP and apply the provisions on improper submissions and order fines. The appellant had been warned of the consequences of persisting in the wording.
