Question juridique clé
Whether the request for a new bankruptcy hearing could be reviewed by federal appeal despite the cantonal decision not being issued by a lower appellate court.
Solution extraite
The complaint was inadmissible on this point because the cantonal decision was not rendered by an upper court acting as an appellate instance within the meaning of Art. 75 BGG.
Motifs extraits
A federal civil appeal requires a decision by an upper cantonal court as appellate instance. A request to remedy default in the first-instance bankruptcy hearing belongs to the first-instance procedure and, after the ZPO entered into force, could not bypass the double-instance requirement.
