Question juridique clé
Whether the civil complaint was admissible before the Federal Supreme Court without first challenging the alleged judicial delay before the cantonal appellate court.
Solution extraite
No. The applicant had an available cantonal remedy by complaint to the Ticino Court of Appeal, so cantonal remedies were not exhausted.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 75 LTF, Federal Supreme Court review requires exhaustion of cantonal instances. A delay-of-justice complaint could have been brought under CPC Art. 319(c) and cantonal law, including before the I Camera civile.
