Question juridique clé
Whether novelties filed after the appeal statement had to be admitted in the cantonal appeal
Solution extraite
The late submissions could be refused; the cantonal rule validly limited novelties to the appeal statement and response.
Motifs extraits
Art. 138(1) ZGB sets only a minimum standard. The cantonal interpretation of Art. 246a ZPO/UR, based on legislative history, was not arbitrary and allowed time limits for new facts and evidence.
