Question juridique clé
Whether an appeal filed in English in Vaud civil proceedings is admissible
Solution extraite
No. Civil procedure must be conducted in French in Vaud, and the appellant failed to submit a French version within the cure period.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 129 CPC and Art. 38 CDPJ, the language of the proceedings was French. After being given a five-day deadline under Art. 132 CPC to correct the language defect, the appellant did not comply, so the filing could not be considered.
