Question juridique clé
Whether the first-instance costs and compensation could be reallocated in appeal despite no express challenge to that point.
Solution extraite
The cost and compensation issue was not protected by partial finality and could be reconsidered together with the appealed judgment.
Motifs extraits
Under cantonal procedural law, costs normally follow the outcome of the case and do not have an independent existence; in a connected issue complex, partial res judicata is excluded if separate treatment would constrain appellate review.
